Hey everyone,

The question came up this evening about packaging mono (the goal was
for a web server, not for desktop .NET apps), and while the
prerequisites as far as packages shouldn't be a problem, nenolod
raised the legitimate question of whether it should be included in the
main tree due to the uncertainty with patents when it comes to Mono.
Thoughts?

My 2 cents on adding Mono to Alpine:

Well, since it was an end-user on #-alpine-linux who raised the
question, and I don't personally have a need for mono plus adding in
the banishment of support from ncopa:) I wouldn't be the one to make
the apkbuild...  I guess since I don't see Third3ye on #alpine-linux
ATM (user who requested mono) it can wait/not get built.

I would be ok with it as long as I don't need to touch it, ever.
Someone else would need to maintain it and convince me that he/she
could deliver flawless apkbuilds and updates via a public git tree that
I (or someone else with git commit access) could pull from. The
maintainer would also need to convince me he/she will stay around for a
while and keep it up to date and dealing with all apps using it.

If there are legal doubts about it we might want keep them in
the 'non-free' section.

That said, I'd rather see Java in our git tree than mono.
