Moonlight is LGPL/X11, that's not changing.

Here's the point.
Think of Mono/Monodevelop/Moonlight as trunk open source products. Novell develops these cores and is able to make money by selling the rights to produce closed forks of these cores to third parties. For instance if a company wants to make a set top box using the moonlight, or you want to make an iphone app with MonoTouch and sell it.

These things can't be done if Mono has gpl code in it, but BSD, MIT, LGPL licenses makes these things a reality. Common code is contributed back to the trucks and everyone benefits. A nice open library, and the ability to make your own products with it, without giving your private source code away.

The result of removing GPL from mono is that it can now be used in by MORE companies, in MORE products. Open source under GPL prevents code from being used in anything BUT GPL applications. LGPL/MIT license is true freedom from the shackles of ideology.

really nice demo

That car looks really practical. I'm sure we'll all be driving electric cars real soon thanks to companies like this.

its really not copying apple. 'a really big screen' isn't new, just not very cost effective. apple raised the stakes and it forces other manufactures to match them, even if it does mean dip in profits all around. thats the game.

Nothing is 100% safe, but I'd rather conain waste, than pump it all in to the atmosphere.
nuclear -> powerlines -> cars, too easy. every year hybrids have more and more battery power and batteries are getting cheaper to manufacture. soon we'll be able to plug in hybrids, and from there out dependence on oil will signifigantly be reduced. time to stop panicing.

whens the apple origami coming out? ;)

The borders of the device are consistant with the borders of the flash on the origami website..
