3 Moonlight Questions
I got into a discussion on IRC the other day with a mono supporter. One of the things that came up on a tangent was Moonlight, Novell’s implementation of Microsoft’s
weapon-of-hope against Adobe’s Flash. There’s a few questions I haven’t seen directly addressed, so I put them here for your bemusement:
IP implications
From Novell’s FAQ on Moonlight:
Q: What are the IP implications of running Moonlight in other Linux distributions other than SUSE Linux Enterprise?
A: There are none. Mono and Moonlight are open source projects delivered under various open source licenses. Details are available at http://mono-project.com/license. Moonlight will be available for Linux users on any distribution.
This seems to clearly state that Novell says Moonlight will have no “IP implications” on any Linux distro. (As an aside, it also implies Mono and Moonlight share the same sort of licensing and “IP implications”.)
From Microsoft’s Covenant to Downstream Recipients of Moonlight:
