Verily I say unto thee, that Roy Schestowitz spake thusly:

> Mono, The Road To Hell: Final Proof

Good timing.

For the benefit of the naysayers ... I hate to say I told you so, but
this is vindication of what I've been saying since day one.

Is this a covenant not to sue us if we receive Moonlight from Novell and
Novell only (Novell and subs)?

A: It only covers 'direct' recipients from Novell, not 'indirect', which
would likely exclude those who receive it directly from anyone other
than Novell unless that third party is an 'authorized reseller'.

Yes, finally this really is proof that Moonlight (and by implication
Mono) is totally non-Free software.

I wonder what de Icaza has to say for himself now?

Hopefully this will be the impetus that finally makes those brainwashed
Mono fanboys wake up, and they'll purge this toxic waste from Free Software.
