The Novell deal has hardly been mentioned on the mono lists. Me thinks
the powers at Novell are interfering after the backlash. That said,
after all has happened with SCO, you'd think that given all MS has said
is there is a very vague IP problem, Novell would have at least taken a
lot more advice before entering into a deal with the devil.

As to taking all Mono applications out, I will abide by whatever those
higher up the food chain decide.

Oooooo, danger and excitement! danger and excitement!

TTFN
