Mono & SourceGear Move Forward

Posted by Hemos on from the partnering-together dept.

miguel writes "The Mono project keeps evolving and is quickly becoming a mature platform for running .NET applications on Linux. SourceGear and Ximian have entered into a partnership to make their .NET-based Vault client software available to Linux and Unix users by implementing the missing web services support in Mono. The formal announcement is here and a developer overview is here. OpenLink has also contributed the functionality to turn Wine into a library that Mono is using to implement the System.Windows.Forms namespace. Another recent progress bit is the fact that Mono can run Eclipse with the IKVM Java VM for .NET"

    actually Microsoft can buy mono copyright becuase all the developers have signed over their copyrights to Ximian. sneeky huh :^)

    from the faq:

    "The Mono runtime and the Mono C# Compiler are also available under a proprietary license for those who can not use the LGPL and the GPL in their code."

    interestingly enough the System.DirectoryServices library is available under a closed source license.

    Its only recently been completed and is still fairly 'betaish'.

    for further information please contact: mono-licensing@ximian.com
