●● Fedora Forbids Moonlight

Posted in GNU/Linux, Mono, Novell, Red Hat at 4:46 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

What about Mono?

From the Fedora Wiki, under “Forbidden Items”:

There are serious concerns about Moonlight, due to Microsoft and Novell’s public statements around its inclusion in their “covenant”. In addition to that Groklaw has [posted] a FAQ from Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC) on the issues with this patent “covenant”. Accordingly, this technology (with, or without codecs), is considered too risky, and is not acceptable for inclusion in Fedora.

There is also an ongoing discussion about Mono, which you can find here (index). Fedora currently has Novell's Mono in it. █
