2994	Mono = Nono	willimm	blfs-book@…	"Looking at the trustworthy news, Mono is just a way to get Micro$oft into Linux, as it's just a .net implantation that few applications use, and there are replacement coded in other languages. Even through we don't have Mono, some users can be at risk if they build Mono through the optional deps.

To see more why Mono = nono, read this:

http://boycottnovell.com/2008/03/24/mono-danger-to-linux/

We don't want LFS to be M$ taxed, do we??!??!?!? Please add this when a package uses mono (in which it's optional:)

""Optional but not recomended: Mono because of patents and risks of Micro$oft tax. Please never use.""

Also, don't add Mono or anthing that requires Mono. Marking as blocker do to the above reasons."	task	closed	high		BOOK	SVN	blocker	wontfix
