<h2>What is Moonlight?</h2><br>
<div>
Moonlight was built by Novell in collaboration with Microsoft
which provided Novell with test suites, specifications, open
source code and Media Codecs to create an entirely open
sourced Silverlight-compatible implementation for Unix
systems.
</div>
<div>
Access to licensed Media Codecs (MP3, WMV, VC-1) is provided
by Microsoft to Moonlight 1.0 and 2.0 users. The first time
that you access a web site that requires these codecs,
Moonlight will prompt you to download the codecs from
Microsoft and install those on your system.
