Portable.NET and Mono have not been merged. The Portable.NET developers contributed the encoding stuff to Mono. Since the Portable.NET developers are the copyright holders, they have the sole right to relicense their code as they see fit.
This is called cooperation -- not a merger. Moreover, it is fine that the encoding stuff has been relicensed from GPL to X11/MIT. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Zaphod Sent: Saturday, November 16, 2002 8:54 AM To: Carlos Guzm�n �lvarez Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Mono-list] Problem with Encoding.Default On Sat, Nov 16, 2002 at 09:45:08AM +0100, Carlos Guzm�n �lvarez wrote: > I�m having problems with default encoding with mono on linux > if i make this Encoding.Default.GetByteCount("localhost.localdomain") > with mono on linux returns 24 and with ms .net on Windows returns 21. > > I�m not sure if this is a problem of mono cvs sources or a problem > withmy mono installation can anybody try it with mono on linux please?? I tried looking at the source code and found that it belonged to .GNU * Copyright (c) 2001, 2002 Southern Storm Software, Pty Ltd So it's not a mono bug ... it's a .GNU bug .. ;-) In fact it was exactly the same code except that it was in X11 license while the .GNU code was GPL'd .... How can this license switch be possible ?. Have the 2 projects merged ? ... _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
