I guess Novell has some sort of protection through the deal. Because from what I had read somewhere, there was no mention of Mono in deals wiht others like Linspire and Xandros but the Novell deal did mention it.
And I have the same doubt as you. Especially the non-ecma parts like Mono's implementation of ADO.NET which also is bundled by default in Ubuntu CDs .
