Those classes are not ECMA compatible, so they won't exist in strict ECMA 
profiles on embedded systems.  So, even ignoring the patent issue, it would 
be a good idea to have your own versions of these in your own code.  Your 
code will then work on more platforms.

Build pnetlib with "./configure --with-profile=ecma" and you'll see what you 
can expect to have available in every C# installation.

Cheers,
