Hi,
If I read well, Mono will be abandoned, isn't it?
I'm going to say what I've said since the initial pricing was announced
- it was overpriced and should have had tiered SKU's. The fact that Mono
was encumbered with a commercial license for key elements and therefore
stifled all "free" alternatives was horrible. Other projects using the
LGPL have added a static linking clause, Novell chose not to.
I guess the most important thing now is - will this new venture own
their own work, or will the Novell/Attachmate licence the Mono core
elements that are LGPL to them? If the new venture has a commercial
license for the elements that are not free to be statically linked, what
reassurance is there going to be that the licensor will respect that
license going forward. Especially in light of the direct competition
that will happen upon release?!
