Sorry for sideboard surfing into this conversation half-way...
If Ximian do decide to re-license a number of 'their' products, where does
that leave the existing code base.
Could someone else pick up the code base & keep developing it?
BTW does anyone know the legal status of the desktop apps & Bonobo?
