All,

It was interesting to read RMS's take on Mono, DotGNU and the whole
Microsoft's patents on .Net CLI runtime.

<short story>
Use the C# code implementations in a free platform (Mono, DotGNU) but
don't create new code in it. Just like mp3 - consume mp3 in free
players, but don't encode.
</short story>

It is no news that RMS has termed Miguel de Icaza - the person behind
Mono (who was also behind GNOME) as a "traitor to the free software
community" for being part of the Mono project.

I'm a fan of .Net platform.

P.S: Lets talk in technology!

We have adobe flash which can perform better then html5 in some cases. But
we advocate for html5 which open. Same thing apply with Mono/C#
Probably "Mono is a danger" by RMS will tell you some reason.
I am very far from Microsoft iceland so I cannot talk on their technology
much.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_Sharp_%28programming_language%29 Page say the
license is "CLR propitiatory" This is not opensource.
