Yesterday (and no, I didn't post this to c.o.l.a.):

As part of Novell’s arrangement with Microsoft, Microsoft also is providing
financial incentives to Novell to get Silverlight on Linux, de Icaza added.
“Microsoft agreed to pay all the licensing and patent fees for
redistributing the (Silverlight) codecs,” de Icaza said. “We don’t have the
Microsoft codecs for Silverlight now. So we can not yet do streaming. … But
it’s coming.”
