Hi, Recently Debian stated[1] about Microsoft Sender ID technology, which, given the choosen Royalty-Free, Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory License (RAND+Royalty-free), couldn't be distributed by Debian.
The reasons are pretty clear, and I agree with them. This is not the question. The question is: Why Mono[2] has a different treatment, given that the C#/CLI standards are licensed in the same way[3]? This, IMHO, is a dangerous inconsistency to Debian. What do you think? daniel [1] http://www.debian.org/News/2004/20040904 [2] http://packages.debian.org/unstable/interpreters/mono [3] http://www.gnome.org/~seth/blog/mono P.S.: I have sent a message about this to debian-private on the Sender ID thread, but it didn't echoed.
