[CS-FSLUG] Will Microsoft promise split the open source movement.

[Fred A. Miller]

Microsoft’s announcement that it will invoke its community promise
regarding C# and the Common Language Infrastructure may be causing a
split between the Free Software Foundation and Ubuntu.

The promise was made to reinforce Ubuntu’s decision to support Mono, an
open source implementation of  Microsoft’s .Net which includes the two
technologies, in an  installation of Debian Linux, on which Ubuntu is based.

The move doesn’t clearly put Mono under the Community Promise, however.

Stallman edited his anti-Mono screed last night, noting that the Debian
supporting Mono is not the default version, but he has not yet backed
down from his criticisms.
