While Everyone is Sleeping, Mono Sneaks Into KDE

Mono is greed



We have already been tracking the progression of this for while [1, 2]. The latest KDE Commit Digest sheds light on the latest patches from Richard Dale, who adds: "How should mono KDE apps be installed? Should they be installed into the bin dir, or they should they be started from a C++ shell like Ruby KDE apps?"

To repeat what Groklaw told KDE developers a week ago: “I told you. I told you. I told you. If you look at the go-oo.org site, you’ll see Mono and “OpenXML” being pushed. Please watch out, KDE. He says they want to share code between Gnome and KDE. Patents are still an issue, in my view. There is no new Microsoft. And I believe Microsoft plans to use their patents at some point, upon which Novell will suggest safety in their arms.

Novell recently announced that it was hiring more KDE developers and OpenSUSE advertising in Akademy 2008 stands out.
