Politicians. They are a certain type of people. I do not like them. Many do not like them. I think if there's one thing all of man has in common, whether he be Christian or Muslim, black or white, young or old, American or European, is a dislike of politicians. But then-- why on earth do we allow politics to complicate software? Note: Sunday Eve Column.

Perception is what all this is about. Mono may be 100% legally safe, but in the end it does not matter. As long as people have doubts, there'll be debates and Mono will not be completely accepted by the free software community.
Need an example? Some people still today think KDE is threatened by its using of Qt, even though it's perfectly safe now for FOSS development and it has been for a long time. Again, a matter of perception.
Thom is very right in something: someone has to make the final call or this will go on forever. Be it ditching Mono completely, or saying goodbye to opposing Gnome developers, this has to end if Gnome wants a future.
