Umm,... I'm not sure why my mail id is there. 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]
