I'm guessing you meant me to pay some attention to the matter. So here's what I've got to say. I'm aware of the situation in Fedora and their position regarding Mono. I happen to stay close to Fedora matters, and in this matter I actually happen to agree their stance. If you ask me what's my stance about this matter with regards to MeeGo is, I happen to agree with what David Greaves said [1] on the other thread. There are many things to consider. However as a project we can't just casually ignore the concerns and hope for the best. While I'm also not a "rabid anti-Mono" person, I'm not particularly comfortable about the legal background either. The best part and one of the key points David mentions was about how to proceed with this matter. I'd like to request you to consider it too, specially as a person involved with FOSS project. :) Let me quote David here: "Maybe the most professional solution would be to continue to provide polite and reasonable responses to polite and reasonable questions? However tedious that may feel."[1] [1] http://lists.meego.com/pipermail/meego-dev/2010-May/002749.html -- Gaveen Prabhasara
