A lot of sins have to be forgiven :) heh.. I can't give any more on this as I don't enjoy spending time with our legal team. Suffice to say, it's being worked out :) (I know that has to suck as an answer, but <insert patience analogy here>) heh.

Well Microsoft have been doing IT stuff for a while now so it's, er, a little strange that the patent issues around SilverLight/XAML haven't been resolved yet. 1) For Linux developers, is the plan to release Microsoft's patents over MoonLight under a license comparable to that of HTML/CSS? 2) For Linux distributors, is the plan to be compatible with the Debian patent policy? And what kind of timelines do you think there might be around solving these issues (obviously these things can take a while, so when should I give up hope ;) Thanks :) ps. now this is what's awesome http://nz.youtube.com/watch?v=KFoTFXxcrrw .Matthew Cruickshank http://docvert.org/ ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
