there own /people dir?

Or is there a license reason for not having them or more of a
time/test reason if they are not some were.

  License problem, I don't think so.  On the other hand, if you want to
talk about the wisdom of it strategically or the possible future patent
problems, well, maybe on another list ;-).

As far as i can se, the most interesting parts of mono have no patent
troubles. And its all GPL/LGPL/MIT.

So why not? There are a few quite interesting C#/GTK# apps out there
(http://www.gnome.org/projects/beagle/ is one example).

Since when did Microsoft start honoring patent/IP law?

My point is after the whipping Microsoft got in court for the 
Stacker/DOS and SMB/File Server protocols it specifically learned from 
that experience and placed very nice land mines all over the .net framework.

.net/MONO is Microsofts honeypot for the Linux Distro community.

Besides, Java solves all our problems and with a vendor that poses no 
real threat to us because SUN grows weaker by the year and has already 
made some nice contributions to the open source community.

They also have a nice community process and at least try to address 
everyones concerns.

With java we also have the added niceness that the class API is 
gradually being completely GPL'ed anyway, so even if SUN dies, we still 
have our own implementation.  (i.e. Tomcat will run just fine with no 
downloads from SUN.)
