Mono Project 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.

Fedora doesn't include Mono yet because it's still in development, not because of possible patent issues. Microsoft submitted specifications for C# and the .NET CLI to ECMA, which means first off that they probably WANT people to make alternative implementations and secondly that they may have a hard time patenting anything they have already published as a standard.
