Mono was spotted in Fedora 8, but we noticed it was absent from the Fedora 9 Live CD. It happened around the time that Fedora said no to Moonlight, which itself depends on Mono. We can now confirm that the same goes for the current build of Fedora 10. A reader of ours, 'neighborlee', has sent us the following screenshots as proof.
Here you can see that Tomboy is not installed. Its icon is nowhere in sight.
Another example of abstinence:
Validation of the claim that Mono is excluded:
Good news overall.
Fedora seems to have mitigated its dependency on
Novell's (and Microsoft's) potential trap.

Umm, No. The live cd is the installer that is recommended by Fedora for desktop users.

I just found this in groklaw: http://www.groklaw.net/comment.php?mode=display&sid=20080805144125413&title=How+to+remove+Mono+(M%24)+from+Ubuntu+Hardy+Heron&type=article&order=&hideanonymous=0&pid=716633#c716651
Is this true? And why does it happen? Why would ooO require libmono in PCLinuxOS? Are they using go-ooo? That would suck, PCLinuxOS is kind of over hyped and it would suck if such a popular distro supported Novell's ill intentions like that.
