We've had a lot of debates recently on the merits - or dangers - of Mono. We've had troubles with how Microsoft views Mono and whether or not everyone is safe using it, but we also had a public back-and-forth among Debian maintainers. During all this, Richard Stallman remained pretty mum on the issue, today he broke the silence on the FSF website.

I think he is saying that C# implementations are good for running applications on free platforms that wouldn't be possible to run otherwise. That's the brighter side.
But, on the other hand... a much bigger hand for him I think, FOSS related people should try to avoid using C# as it poses a (future) risk. In other words: don't touch it with a 10-foot flag pole.
