.Net On Android Is Safe, Says Microsoft

An anonymous reader writes "With Oracle suing Google over 'unofficial' support for Java in Android, Microsoft has come out and said it has no intention of taking action against the Mono implementation of C# on the Linux-based mobile OS. That's good news for Novell, which is in the final stages of preparing MonoDroid for release. Miguel de Icaza is not concerned about legal challenges by Microsoft over .Net implementations, and even recommends that Google switch from using Java. However, Microsoft's Community Promise has been criticized by the Free Software Foundation for not going far enough to protect open source implementations from patent litigation, which is at the heart of the Oracle-Google case."

Thank you.

It is always nice to be reminded that there is at least one regard (immigration) in which European conservatives are actually worse than our own American conservatives.

Because some random app doesn't work right and the developers of the app isolated the problem to a .Net component, it's .Net's fault.

Because you make presumptions like you did you're an idiot.

Take better care of your car.
