Gnome has already made their decision, and any belly-aching on your
part is irrelevant.


"Pointing out that it /might/ be counter-productive"
is not "belly-aching".


You "suggested" ,or rather was trying to tell people how they should
feel about Mono.

Please show me where I told people how to feel about mono?
You are just being silly now, looking for an argument that
isn't there.


I'm not knocking those who use

.net nor did I knock the gnome people, I'm just pointing
out that it has a sword hanging over it's head.



The "sword hanging over it's head" is true for everybody because of
software patents. If you write a thousand lines of code and someone
with patents feels threatened by it, you might have a sword hanging
over your head.

True; However considering microsofts usual behaviour
(like, with FAT) there is no reason to believe that the
same thing won't happen with mono. C# may be ecma standardised,
but that didn't prevent microsoft from applying for
(and getting granted) extremely broad and vauge .net
specific patents in 2002.


Most people would rather get out of bed in the morning
though, instead of hiding under the covers.



No need to be defensive.



I have no interest in what happens to Gnome. You are the one that was
bitter enough about the whole thing to go on an offtopic rant with your
"suggestion" on how others should feel about it, which is odd, since
you have no influence.


?
I made an observation[1] and you readily jumped in
to display your ignorance. How is that my fault?

My word! Grow up already. Stop being so overly sensitive.

[1] One that you would have to *really* twist to
see it as "bitter". Doubly so to view it as
"telling others how to feel". Don't read between the
lines, read what I wrote.
