Depends on the context.

There is with Mono. The big difference is that (I would guess) the majority of those working on Mono aren't on the Novell payroll - it's the biggest difference between Open and Closed source. Take OpenOffice, there are well over 200 people actively working on it, yet only about 15 work for Sun! TTFN Paul -- "If I face my God tomorrow, I can tell Him I am innocent.
