[DotGNU]Shared source CLI beta released

[Robert Isaacs]

Now that the shared source CLI is officially beta [1] :

I was looking over the license [2] and noticed this paragraph:

--
You may use any information in intangible form that you remember after
accessing the Software. However, this right does not grant you a license
to any of Microsoft's copyrights or patents for anything you might
create using such information.
--

This seems to imply that merely looking at the software and remembering
how things work does not stop a person from working on projects like
mono and dotgnu.

Am I way off base with this assessment?  Any clarification would be
appreciated.

Thanks,

Robert

I posted this message to the mono list as well.
