Mono Part of Debian's Default Desktop Install?
Linked by

Well, this is interesting. We already have a
Mono item ruffling some feathers on OSNews today
, but here we have the apparent news that
Tomboy has become a default part of GNOME on Squeeze
, the next release of Debian.
Wait, what now
?
Update:
I've updated the article with Fedora's position in all this. Read on!
Update II:

Why not have Mono per default installing on Debian?
Mono is OpenSource and so I don't see any problem.
What warries me a lot more is, that gnuplot is in the Debian main-tree.
And gnuplot
http://www.gnuplot.info/
is neither GNU nor OpenSource:
Look at
http://gnuplot.cvs.sourceforge.net/gnuplot/gnuplot/Copyright?view=m...
Permission to modify the software is granted, but
not the right to distribute the complete modified source code
. Modifications are to be distributed as patches to the released version.
