Microsoft is providing a covenant not to sue open source developers for
development or non-commercial distribution of implementations of these
protocols. These developers will be able to use the documentation for free to
develop products. Companies that engage in commercial distribution of these
protocol implementations will be able to obtain a patent license from
Microsoft, as will enterprises that obtain these implementations from a
distributor that does not have such a patent license.

That's some pretty strong language. So we develop Mono per M$'s API docs, and
even if the docs are labeled "patented" as long as Mono remains free (beer) no
one gets sued?
