project):

"What do you guys think of Microsoft's .Net and Hailstorm efforts?

Dangerous stuff. It is often said that the price of freedom is eternal
vigilance. Unless we counter them, Microsoft's efforts are not only a
threat to Free Software, they are also extremely dangerous tools in the
hands of any Evil Government that wants to make their citizens unfree."

"The DotGNU project was originally started in reaction to Microsoft's .NET
strategy, for which it will be a complete replacement (and not just a Free
Software implementation). The parts of .NET strategy about which we are
most concerned are Microsoft's attempts to gain control of the internet
and its users."

"On other fronts, Microsoft is still working hard to entangle everyone in
their .NET -- In contrast, the goal of DotGNU is to give computer users
full freedom to use the internet as they want."

"Don't read unpublished Microsoft information

In order to avoid falling into any legal traps, please be extremely
careful to avoid reading any unpublished information from Microsoft.

We ask every contributor to disclose exactly how much exposure they've had
to Microsoft stuff, and make them commit to report any additional exposure
immediately. Whenever there is even the slightest shade of a possible
problem, the contributor needs to refrain from contributing until our
legal team has been established and it has provided appropriate advice."
