Another question:
(From the FAQ)
----
Q: What if I don’t implement the entire specification? Will I still get the protections under the CP?

A: The CP applies only if the implementation conforms fully to required portions of the specification. Partial implementations are not covered.

Does mono implement absolutely 100% of the specification without bugs? Because if not, we got a problem...

anon I am looking at this statement: Because the General Public License (GPL) is not universally interpreted the same way by everyone, we can’t give anyone a legal opinion about how our language relates to the GPL or other OSS licenses, but based on feedback from the open source community we believe that a broad audience of developers can implement the specifications.

uh? Did this really say it is not a legal opinion about whether it is compatible with the GPL? If the holder of the 'rights' cannot say if they give permission - just who on earth can? <confused>
aaa That clause is there purely to prevent people from implementing a trivial subsection of the .NET framework in their product and then claiming full patent protection for all patents covering the entire .NET specification to protect their product.

So does this mean that ASP.NET, ADO.NET, Winforms and others are still a reason Microsoft could sue me?
