Hi, I've had a request from rpmfusion to rebuild mono with the --with-moonlight flag set. This builds in the functionality required to build Silverlight on rpmfusion. I am aware that Fedora itself cannot have Silverlight in (the licence is the MS "shared source" (cough) licence) due to the potential for MS to do it's usual trick of going back on their word and applying patents to cause problems. While adding in the smcs and silverlight code possibly does not break any of the fedora rules, I am of the thinking that we don't add the flag for the same reason that we have disabled xmms for mp3; it has the potential to cause us problems. This is probably a question for the legal people, but I'm asking it here as I don't have the legal people's email address and it is also a packaging problem. If I get the okay to build mono with the flag, I will. TTFN Paul -- Sie können mich aufreizen und wirklich heiß machen!
