[Mono-list] Agreement Novell - Microsoft

[Kornél Pál]

Hi,

The only thing you can fear are software patents. Microsoft can't do 
anything else to Mono. Also note that existing Mono source code will 
reamain available under the current open source licenses even if 
licensing policy changes for future releases.

See http://www.mono-project.com/Licensing#Patents
