It's worse than that, Novell actually also squandered a lot of goodwill in the community (the tech people who do write the product lists suits choose from) and I guess it can probably give up any hope of further pushing Mono in GNOME. I don't see Red Hat, Ubuntu, Debian, Mandriva, Sun, Gentoo hackers accept to have this major piece of the Linux DE depend on a tech Novell just agreed to pay royalties for (esp when the java veil is lifting). Need I remind you why GNOME was founded in the first place ?
