Wait a moment. Mono for Android and iOS is proprietary/commercial? If this is the case, then they can keep their shit for themselves.

Michael likes Mono articles because they cause forum flamewars, which cause an above average number of advert impressions on the forum.

Mono on Linux is desirable for m$ only. Linux will become the main platform when it gets games, so m$ wants to pollute it with mono. Ever heard of m$ patents FUD? Did you ever wondered where those 200+ patents violations lay? They lay in mono. Just say fu*k you Icaza, m$ and have a nice day.

Know who has no problem with the safety of using Mono? Sony.
Who do I trust more. A company with an army of lawyers saying "it's fine" or incoherent ramblings on a web forum?

Originally posted by BallmerThe company claims that the Linux kernel violates 42 patents, the Linux graphical interface violates 65, the Open Office suite - which is available for several platforms including Mac OS X - violates 65 patents, email applications are violating 15, and other assorted applications violate another 68 patents.
Those are the claimed number of violations - and most of them are in OpenOffice.org.

Mono is not a alternative to ms .NET. They promote .net .
Linux today does not need a ms-controlled language/API. There are a lot of good tools for programming. Even eiffel have a good GPL IDE .
Pypy is opensource.Eclipse and netbeans opensource .LLVM is opensource .A lot of programming languages are opensource today.

Not very coherent, is it?
Mono is, absolutely, an alternative to Microsoft.NET. By definition, all implementations of ECMA334/335 are alternatives to each other. And, yes, that means promotion of the base spec, the same way a plethora of Python or Ruby implementations promotes Python or Ruby in general.
Linux today does not need a ms-controlled language/API. There are a lot of good tools for programming. Even eiffel have a good GPL IDE .

Note, in particular, that most of these entries don't actually say "Microsoft". In fact, only one does: the one marked "Microsoft"
And, as we went over last time, notice that the company behind your beloved Eiffel is in fact one of the entities behind .NET
