Miguel de Icaza Explains His Gnome .NET Plans

When Miguel de Icaza, the founder of Gnome and Gnumeric among other things, told TheRegister some days ago that he would like to see Gnome 4.0 to be based on Mono (a free .NET re-implementation), a lot of people thought that he is “selling” Gnome to the Microsoft’s “evil .NET” technology. Miguel says that it ain’t so and he has written a long reply answering to both the Gnome community and RMS himself. Miguel explains that Mono is just a free re-implementation of a proprierty technology (that Microsoft pushes enough to make it the ‘de facto’ standard in the years to come, so the Unix world should catch up), just as Linux was a free re-implementation of AT&T’s proprierty UNIX, therefore people should look deeper to the facts before they start complaining without having done their research first.
