Hi,

Just a quicky.

What licence is Mono distributed under?

AIUI, MS has patents which Mono relies upon which means that
distribution under the GPL would not be allowed (which may explain the
reluctance of both Fedora and Debian to include it in their distros) or
is Novell in posession of documentation from MS which waives the patent
problems (in which case, can someone please tell the various distros?)

Thanks

TTFN

Paul

P.S. New website is quite fun, but is a wiki/plone really the best thing
to have?
