IANAL, but I do talk with lawyers a lot. It's my understanding that the
patents granted to OIN by Novell still belong to OIN, and all of the
signatories are still bound to defend technologies covered by OIN. Of
which Mono is one.

Probably something we should look into and make a statement about.
Mono got into Core on the promise of OIN, so fundamentally we need a
statement from OIN. Unless OIN is undone, we shouldn't revisit this
every time someone raises the patent boogeyman spectre. If OIN is
undone, then yes, Mono and related covered activities (NTFS?) are out.
My 2 cents.
