[Mono-list] .NET patent ?

[Amien Crombie]

Hi   I am very interested in the Mono project as we have a large Linux user base. With the news of MS taking out patent rights for .NET, will this in any way effect the progress of Mono ? This also raises the question about future moves by MS in this regard. My personal feeling is that since Mono has done so much already, mono users will definitely have to make some decisions, even if it means paying some license fee.   Thanks for a great product.     Mogamad Amien Crombie Software Engineer. iThemba LABS National Accelerator Centre Faure Cape Town South Africa +27 21 843-1000 Website : www.tlabs.ac.za
