  OIN Galicia Guide | Spain
The reason Oin is mentioned here is not because of any hidden importance or historical relevance, but simply because it is typical of the many small towns and villages you will pass on a typical country drive in Galicia.
Oin is really nothing more than a little village straddling the road to Padron, but with a couple of bars and a mixture of traditional style houses and an old church it has all the "wish list" items of the perfect Galician village.
Oin is in a bit of a valley and as we looked back towards our incoming route we were faced with lush green hills and mountains and we realized why our ears had "popped" during the descent.

MS has never, ever, said that they would not sue or charge a license fee for the use of.net technologies.
The argument presented in this article is simply that OIN has some unrelated patents that they believe the entire industry is infringing on so if anyone messes with them they will sue.
But what I don't get is that Novell (at least the Ximian part) has been trying to push Mono for quite a while.
