Unix was originally all about not being... Multics. If Mono is to follow a similar nomenclature (just for the kicks), we have to talk about Mono's upcoming 'monopolization' and 'monarchy' in the next generation of the Unix programming land. Your see, if everything goes well, in 2 to 3 years most new Gnome user/desktop applications will be written --hopefully-- in Mono and C#. Update: Miguel deIcaza replies.

Why doesn't the Mono crew ask Microsoft to issue a statement that they will NOT go after Mono for patent infringement? If they issue that assurance then Mono is good to go, if not, then we shouldn't use it.
It really is that simple. There is no need to live with the sword of Damocles over our heads in the free-software world.
