Until MS unequivocably states that they will not go after any MONO implementations, will not even consider using MONO.

I remember a few tears back E-Week asking MS a question about NET and alternate NET implementations if MS would allow them to survive uninhibited. The MS rep responded by saying, “MS will do everything to protect their IP.” That was all he said about NET on other platforms.

The fact that NET gives MS an opening for patent infringement, is enough for me to steer clear. Yes, I know it is suppose to be a clean room implementation, but why should I gamble when Java.Python, etc are not so encumbered.

First post!

I’ve been running Coyote Linux on my firewall for about 7 years, and although I have no reason to upgrade, I thought I would stop by to see what was going on with Coyote. Thanks for sharing Coyote and good luck going forward!
