No, it’s not related to Novell and Microsoft and I did not make this claim either. In fact, I haven’t evened mention that item in this Web site despite the fact that I saw it several times this week. It’s only mentioned here as a ‘by the way’ comprising half a dozen words.If Mono gets feet, then it’ll get harder and harder to escape as time goes by.

I’m not sure I follow the logic of Microsoft being behind Mono on OLPC – the article published on LinuxToday linked to some random guy’s blog who got his Mono program working on the OLPC. He’s neither involved with Microsoft nor Novell afaict.

MS is obviously on the offensive to fill Linux with MONO, even OLPC which is a point of concern, I still wonder how come there are little defensive actions against this. Linux is finally getting more attention thanks to mobile devices and OLPC and it would be a shame for MONO to ruin it by adding a .net dependency to them (which seems totally unnecessary )
