Miguel,
we will of course have to check with our lawyers on this
matter, but let me first double-check to make sure that I
understand you correctly. Do I understand you correctly that
If we consider it to be an unacceptable legal risk to rely on
code that has been created by following a procedure like it is
outlined in that "How to Reverse Engineer and still be Legal"
article, then we should not rely on the Mono C# class library.
?
Greetings, Norbert.
