Are you dumping OpenOffice.org too? Two of its main contributors (Sun
and Novell) have a similar deal with Microsoft regarding software
patents.

My point is, if Fedora trusts that Novell's contributions to GNOME,
Linux, Xorg, compiz, OpenOffice.org and other projects are not "tainted"
after this deal, then I see no reason to give a different treatment to
the Mono project, which is still commited to being free of Microsoft
patents. Let's not spread FUD against Mono.
