Whats wrong with it is that it would be *moronic* to close up any of the previously open software.
Ryan you dumbass. You repeatedly come out with crap, and then get your mates to mod you up. *WHY* would it be moronic... so they would lose a bunch of freeloading linux hippies (from their point of view) -- they care about the big spending corporate market. As for the evo copyright and submitted patches... how do you think Mozilla handled this, or Sun with Star/OpenOffice... there's your answer. Ximian *DO* own the evo code. As for your final comment (mentioned in another message too), mono is not BSD licensed you fool. The class libraries are... but the mono software is GPL/LGPL. Get your facts right -- and stop modding down anyone who disagrees with you.
