This is the second LWN subscriber link to be posted in as many days. I suspect they might have been a little peeved as posting those for the entire world to use isn't exactly the intended use.

DavidNielsen | 10 years ago | on: Oracle nabs Xamarin as a cloud partner
Xamarin offers a free starter edition[1] and you can request free full licenses for use with Open Source projects[2].
Getting started on your own project or doing an Open Source project that relies on Xamarin's tools is perfectly possible. In fact we use such free licenses to produce OS X and iOS versions of the Tomboy note taking app[3].

It is my understanding that XMPP also presents a problem with regards to mobile due to inefficient design from a power usage point of view. I could certainly see how that would be reason to look into fixing or outright replacing XMPP but not opening the replacement protocol is just shameful.

I am a backer but it is pretty much just a multiplayer game and what I loved about RTS games was the single player campaign experience
