Re: Mono (& Moonlight) Licensing? Revisited

If you are as scared of legal issues as you seem to be, then just pull ASP.net, ADO.net, and Winforms out. You would make a lot of people mad, but if you are really paranoid...

Look at this for more info: http://mono-project.com/License#Patents

Also, regarding Moonlight 2, it is merely a subset of Mono, with some extra APIs suited for it, the only real difference between Moonlight and Mono is codecs. And you don't even have to include those, since Moonlight by default does not require them and can download them automatically when they are needed.

I really don't see why you should freak out over Moonlight, if Mono is protected, then Moonlight 2 should be protected, since it is a form of Mono itself.

I wasn't asking them to.
