Should C# mono be allowed in trisquel's repository?
Hey guys,
I was looking for an IDE and found Geany in the repository. I visited the web site and downloaded the lastest source distribution(geany-1.34.1) -> link here : https://www.geany.org/Download/Releases
I opened a terminal and typed ./configure and got an error saying something like "gtk-2.0 is missing".
I typed sudo apt install libgtk-2.0 and noticed a bunch of libmono was installed with it.
Also the apt install downloaded and installed about 147 certificates :

Im asking if this is ok because I opened another thread asking about C#(Mono / .NET Core) usage in GNU OS. link here -> https://trisquel.info/fr/forum/new-member-who-needs-helpadvise#comment-139156
If this is not ok how can I revert this?(For certificates)
For uninstalling libgtk-2.0 I think this is correct (sudo apt remove --purge libgtk-2.0)?
Thanks.
The concern is over patents. The FSF doesn't require endorsed distros to do anything in particular with regard to those. See "Patents" in
https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html
This is also a good discussion on the topic before proceeding further:
https://www.softwarefreedom.org/podcast/2009/jul/07/0x11/
See my answer in the other thread too: https://trisquel.info/forum/new-member-who-needs-helpadvise#comment-139193
@jxself : Thanks for sharing the podcast it was very helpful.
If you want more: http://dcc.ufmg.br/~lcerf/wpa.mp3
There is a sequel (not as interesting but not bad either): http://dcc.ufmg.br/~lcerf/wpa2.mp3
I stopped the audio when I heard the bread toaster is patented...lol this is insane.
