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.

They stood by and did nothing when TomTom was being attacked.
Keep in mind that the TomTom case was open and shut fairly quickly. TomTom chose to settle shortly after they got the OIN involved. I don't think we can be sure what might have happened if the case played out to the end.
Maybe you're right. Maybe the OIN is all bark and no bite. I'm just not sure that the TomTom case is sufficient evidence to judge one way or the other.

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.
