It does start to sound like de Icaza is becoming nervous about his
position. Novell's "licensing deal" apparently provides *no protection*
for Mono. No wonder he's becoming nervous. I suspect that he's taken
a similar line to Mr Torvalds over the last few years, leaving the
politics to others and just focussing on the technology. Unfortunately,
as shown by things like Tivoisation, assuming that there's a "nice guy"
in everyone just waiting to come out is rather like assuming that a
creationist will ever accept the workings of science and grasp the concepts
of scientific theory and how it differs from faith (whilst happily using
phones, televisions, computers, modern medicine etc...).
Clearly, things continue to get worse at Redmond Central.
