Looking over the Moonlight homepage, there is the Microsoft covenant for not sueing who uses it. The first paragraph is very "interesting": http://www.microsoft.com/interop/msnovellcollab/moonlight.mspx Basically, they agree not to sue you (the Moonlight users), just if you use a copy of the implementation only as a plugin and the copy must be made between the period of validity of the covenant. In other words, they can pull the plug on that and can sue everyone they want. I hardly think this is a good thing, even though the pure techonogy is better by now. -- ------------------------------------------- Denis A.
