Yes, things have changed a fair bit since the OIN was initially set up
- most notably the agreements that now exist between MS and Novell.
Presumably, since Novell were a key player in the OIN, this now
weakens the whole OIN effort, particularly w.r.t mono etc. Looks like
this could really do with being revisited by Legal.

Some interesting commentary on some aspects of the article originally
linked to by the OP:
