So what? I leapt into it from it's outset and yet have no desire (after
it was explained to me) to jeapordise my favourite distro from patents
those money grabbing no-marks at Redmond will, no doubt, try it on with
after their current attempt (via SCO) goes down in flames - taking the
morons there down with them.

Sorry - the situation is clear. Until RH recieve *in writing* assurances
from MS that their patents will not be exercised and the RAND licence
actually covers it, then you're on your own. If someone else (like
nrpms) wants to provide bindings et al, no problem - it's an optional,
none Red Hat product.

TTFN
