I meant the deal with Amazon, not Sun.

And it was a 10-year agreement. Which means it doesn't expire until 2014.



Exactly the same problem with the Novell deal, no?



I think you'd be hard-pressed to say there's no hate...

Uh... I don't see him arguing that Mono should replace gcc. I see him saying that LLVM+CLang is well on its way to being mature enough to be able to do so, but that's not what you claimed he said.

Just an FYI, but Sun and Microsoft did have a similar deal to the Microsoft-Novell deal.

A lot of FOSS licenses are incompatible with the GPL! Even different versions of the GPL are incompatible with each other!



How so?



You could ask so many FOSS organizations that very...

LOL, way to twist words to create a straw-man argument. If this is what you have to resort to, then I guess this means you know you've lost the argument. None one sticking up for Mono has ever...

And none of that shows how Mono isn't Free or Open SOurce Software. It's just more fear mongering.



Mono is also covered by OIN, so it makes it near impossible for Microsoft do do anything...

Not to mention the fact that the FSF have even listed the MS-PL as a truly Free Software license.

Yes. They are under the Microsoft Community Promise, which is a legally binding contract that Microsoft will not sue over any patents needed to implement ECMA 334 and 335.

While Windows.Forms,...

Then, had you read my post, you'd also have to remove Python and Vala apps, because they copy features from C# and are not covered under the CP and are therefore more dangerous than Mono.

Yes, he developed it from scratch, but it's still a clone. That's why UNIX apps port so easily to Linux and vise versa.

There are definitely people who *hate* Mono - I'd say the vast majority of people who attack Mono (e.g. the Boycott Novell crowd) *hate* Mono.

This hate is also extremely irrational.

Erm, you must have been hiding under a rock for the past few years. Mono already supports C# 4.0 and has supported 3.0 since at least their 1.9 release.

It had nothing to do with Silverlight. Apparently it had to do with VMWare (something from http://www.ogmaciel.com/).

Mind providing an example? I have never seen anything of the sort and I read Planet GNOME every single day.

Hah. So now all the anti-Mono zealots can eat their own FUD they've been throwing. What these people need to ask themselves is whether it was worth dragging a good Free Software project through the...

None of the Mono apps shipped by default in Ubuntu make use of the questionable parts of .NET, so Mono apps might actually be "safer" than OOo3 :-)

Wow, great blog post!

If you've never used the applications, how could you possibly state that they are spartan when it comes to features?

I smell a troll.

Yes. Absolutely there is.

.NET is the next generation of programming environments that builds on the benefits of Java.

There's a lot more to .NET than the C# syntax, so Vala isn't enough.
