de Icaza: Rest of World Will Force US Into Linux (OS News)
OSNews talks with
Miguel de Icaza about all things Linux and Novell. "Regarding
Mono and the Microsoft .NET patents, Ximian is now splitting the "non-free"
parts of .NET in Mono, and so OS providers can decide if they want to
include in their products the "non-free non-ECMA" portions or
not. Apparently, even without the non-free portions, Mono is fully usable,
complete with the GTK# bindings, database and other free parts. Miguel
knows that a completely "clean" Mono will still find resistance from some
OS/distro makers for political reasons, rather than legal or technical
ones, and he is prepared for it." (Found on Footnotes)
