[Mono-winforms-list] MS IL-Code

[Peter Dennis Bartok]

Any patent discussions and generic Mono discussions should be done in
mono-list@ximian.com. However, it has been discussed ad nausea there
already (another lengthy thread just two weeks ago, so you should probably
consult the FAQ and mail-list archives before asking about MS patents.

In general, Miguel is currently doing a patent-review of MS' patents and
whether they apply to .Net, etc. Probably doesn't make much sense to
speculate until his review is complete. Then we're not guessing in the
dark anymore.

Cheers,
  Peter

You should read the End User License Agreement that you clicked `I
agree' when you installed the framework.

The question is answered by reading that.
