Attachmate Fires Mono Developers

Posted by timothy on from the and-there-there-were-none dept.

darthcamaro writes "Love it or hate it, Novell's open source Mono project has inspired a lot of debate over the last 7 years. Mono brings .NET to Linux, with some interesting patent connections. The project is now at a crossroads, with news today that Attachmate had laid off the US based development team for Mono."

    So why doesn't Microsoft sue? Because it would be a public relations nightmare - just as it was for SCO.

    Perhaps you aren't aware that MS funded SCO's lawsuit. SCO was just a proxy for MS. Nothing to stop MS from "selling" the patents in question to some patent troll and engaging in another proxy lawsuit.
