As many people pointed out, the linux kernel (ignorant of patents by intent), java implimentations and samba are likely canidates of patent conflicts too (though lets hope we'll never see such conflicts), so that might not have been enough reason to keep it out of Fedora Core. Its worth noting that there are no patent conflicts with mono, only fears that maybe in the future there might be (like with a few other products included in Fedora as those mentioned above for example). There's a huge difference between 'we fear maybe some day down the road there might be...' And 'patent conflicts'. Luckily it's the first and not the second :-) I for one hope this news item is true and it'll be a part of Fedora Core. There's some nice apps out there that are dependent on it (Beagle, f-spot, etc) and it's a nice language to offer people next to the slew of other languages that are already available out of the box on Fedora Core. -- Chris -----Original Message----- From: fedora-test-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-test-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of goemon@xxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 09:50 To: For testers of Fedora Core development releases Subject: Re: mono? true?
