“Mono remains alive as a contentious issue, and Linux Today
readers outshine the professional journalists in their
commentary:“[Charles Hixson] [I don’t see any case for including mono by
default]“”I’ve seen fairly reasonable arguments that it’s quite legal. I
haven’t seen any that say that it’s a good thing, and which I also
accepted as valid.“Also, things which are legal in one jurisdiction are often not
legal in another. So I’d be cautious about accepting that it was
legal, and REALLY cautious that MS wouldn’t sue over it, possibly
behind a stalking horse. That doesn’t require a valid claim. (Check
out the SCOx lawsuit, which MS appears to have partially
financed.)”
