    I'm also not sure about Pinta, which is a Paint.NET "inspired" graphics program.

    We know that most software is built collaboratively. Does this really mean MS is finely seeing this? I always feel they have something up their sleeve.

    I understand that, but I think times have changed significantly and am (hopeful? optimistic?) that this may be different (but taking it with a grain of salt).

    I outlined it before the threads got merged at (instead of repeating myself) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...5#post13166435.

    That's probably wisest, very old parables about farmers and vipers notwithstanding. Now that people are starting to look into the details, it looks like the patent license could use more than a little work to make it safe as far as paperwork goes (holding quiet about the technical stuff):

    Of interest is that how patents are dealt with is one of the differences between the Apache and MIT licenses.

    Greetings,
    This looks to me like
    "hiding a bad motive under a good one".
    Someone over at Microsoft has been robbing the wine cabinet. Burp! ....net
    Gee! Just when I thought it was safe to go back in the water.
