Apple Novell has announced MonoTouch 1.0, a commercial SDK kit that allows developers to build iPhone apps using Microsoft's .Net Framework instead of the Apple-designated C or Objective-C languages. The SDK leverages Novell's Mono runtime for running Windows apps on non-Windows systems, allowing developers to utilize code and libraries written for .Net and programming languages like C#.

Sure, they've been telling it up front all the time.

My problem is when they start closing it up without doing a free version at all.

I dont ming a GPL program being released in two versions - a free and a closed source. Sort of like mysql or virtualbox. My problem comes from the fact hat they don't provide a free version at all.

They have the legal right to do so - but IMO they also have a moral right to release a free version.
