Unix was originally all about not being... Multics. If Mono is to follow a similar nomenclature (just for the kicks), we have to talk about Mono's upcoming 'monopolization' and 'monarchy' in the next generation of the Unix programming land. Your see, if everything goes well, in 2 to 3 years most new Gnome user/desktop applications will be written --hopefully-- in Mono and C#. Update: Miguel deIcaza replies.

Eugenia sez:
AFAIK, the law says that if a company do not act on a copyright/trademark/patent infringement in the first two years of the case being known to them, they have no right to sue after that time. Mono is more than 2 years old now, Microsoft knew about it all along, and so they can't and they (hopefully) won't sue.
Nope. That only applies to Trademarks. Patents are forever (well, for the life of the patent) and infringers can be sued selectively (see Eolas vs. MS but not Mozilla) and at the holder's leisure (see Unisys waiting for everyone to use GIF).
