If Gnome didn't exist, would TrollTech have ever released a GPL Qt library...
Mono's existence kickstarted free Java development. "Oh noes, everyone will be using MS technology, we had better clone up an alternative fast!"
Free Java is why Sun is even thinking about releasing real Java to open source.
