“Summary: Why there is increased pressure for GNOME and
for other projects to love the patents-encumbered monkey (Mono);
Black Duck uses IDG for more FUD“THE GNOME Foundation Board recently added yet another Novell
employee [1, 2, 3, 4], probably exceeding the number of people one
company is allowed to have among the directors (there are several
more). Here is confirmation of that:“It’s been two months since I was appointed
to the GNOME Foundation Board of Directors to replace Behdad. (And
those are some pretty big shoes to fill!)“This man is one of the developers of Tomboy, which is a
well-known Mono-based project and the last remaining barrier (bar
gbrainy [1, 2, 3, 4]) in Canonical’s route
towards a Mono-free Ubuntu (Canonical’s CTO knows that there are
issues with Mono).”
