Find a local, well-reputed lawyer specializing in intellectual property. The person who asked you cannot get what is called "legal advice" from a canned response -- or a non-lawyer -- and very few lawyers will give legal advice for free or over email. It has to be given to address the particular question or situation. In practice, the ultimate authority is the court hearing a lawsuit, and I don't think there have been any lawsuits *or* rulings on Mono and patents, on the Microsoft-Novell agreement, or on closely related topics.
