Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu The Mono discussion may be tiring, but the fact of the matter is that thanks to this discussion, various major Linux distributions are now making official statements detailing their position in the Mono/C# debate. The latest to do this is Ubuntu, which reiterated their position yesterday.

Mono is backed by the OIN. Which effectively means that any assault on Mono has the possibility of unleashing patent Armageddon

They stood by and did nothing when TomTom was being attacked. Sure, they're good at rattling their sabres when there is no actual battle going on... "We stand ready to leverage our patent portfolio, blah, blah, blah". But when TomTom was under seige, OIN hid in the closet.
