There was a lot of noise and confusion on the Monodroid mail group when it was reported that Novell had been sold to Attachmate and subsequently laid off the entire Mono team. The two major products that the team had been working on, Monodroid and Monotouch (cross platform .NET platforms for Android and iOS development) apparently were dead.
Well, it looks like Miguel and his team have worked a deal with Attachmate:
Through an agreement with SUSE*, a business unit of The Attachmate Group (the company that acquired Novell in April 2011), Xamarin has a broad, perpetual license to all intellectual property covering Mono*, MonoTouch, Mono for Android and Mono Tools for Visual Studio. Xamarin will also provide technical support to SUSE customers using Mono-based products and assume stewardship of the Mono open source project

This is good news indeed for open source .NET development and all involved.
