![]() ![]() Don’t you remember the Windows sourcecode leak last year? NOT TRUE! Mainsoft,a contributor to the Mono project has had access to MS sourcecode. “Mono was created without any view of MS source code” It is a very good decision that RedHat does not distribute it (since RedHat distributes free software only, which mono is definitely not). PPS: mono’s performance is very, very poor compared to both java and the original. mono is gpl, but is it free software? No, because unlicensed and illegal stuff is per se non-free, even if it is gpl, because the term “free software” only applies to legal stuff. Yes, this is what it is: mono is an unlicensed implementation of patented technology, and will be the end of the gnome desktop and the beginning of yet another microsoft monopoly. And especially clever are those gpl-fundamentalists that prefer using this unlicensed implementation of patented technology. – Begin suing them for patent infringement and make a lot of money – Wait until the especially “clever” people depend on it ![]() – Wait for some very “clever” people using it – Wait for some even more “clever” anti-nongpl-anti-java-fundamentalists pushing the clone because java is not gpl ![]() – Wait for some other “clever” people cloning it under the gpl, even the non-standardized and patented parts (yes, this is what the mono project does) – Call it “.net” (everybody is familiar with the expressions “net” and “network”, who knows what “java” means?) ![]()
