Can't change the spots on a Leopard's back.
Besides, I just checked my NYS Driver's License for my date of birth--I wasn't born yesterday.

So Linux Folks, don't touch Mono with a barge pole!

Sorry Miguel, you are a creative spirit, but you've made your bed.

Sleep well.

P.S.
To remove the 'Patent Trap' from your Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackelope edition open a terminal window and type:

$sudo apt-get purge libmono0 mono-common libgdiplus
