Novell and Microsoft cut out the GPL cancer from open-source Silverlight

,----[ Quote ]
| To say that Microsoft and Novell have a muddy
| history when it comes to open-source projects
| and the GPL would be an understatement.
| Things were looking up, with the release of
| the open-source implementation of
| Silverlight, Moonlight 2, last week, but
| today things took a turn for the worse:
| Novell has just cut all the open source code
| from MonoDevelop.
|
| The implications of this aren't immediately
| clear, nor can we be certain of what Novell
| and the Mono development team have in store
| for us. All we know is that Novell has
| decided to lock Moonlight development up in a
| stricter, more-commercial LGPLv2 and MIT X11
| license: generally it's a bad thing when free
| things become non-free.
