However, I don't think there's anything to worry about here. The only reason that we ship mono *at all* is that we're covered by some OIN patents on it. I'm not sure which OIN patents those are, but essentially if Microsoft wants to pick that fight,

... it's not OIN patents, it's that mono is in the OIN list of protected packages. Just clarifying.

Does OIN cover the specific version we're carrying? I thought OIN was version specific.

It covers a specific version of a package, and the functionality provided by that version in any successive release of that package. So, even though libX11 was split out of the xorg-x11 package after the OIN package list was approved, it's still covered.
