Moonlight and Mono? Isn't there still those patent-issue? Let's better go with Gnash.
No there isn't. Novell has an agreement with Microsoft regarding that. Btw, you think that flash isn't patented? you think that the technology in Flash such as h264 and so forth isn't patented?

Moonlight requires users to download the closed source "Microsoft Media Pack" (or whatever it's called).
Avoiding patent threats by using "proper licensed" closed source codecs? No, that can't be the final solution.
There are really free technologies that today make a powerful team: JavaScript, SVG, CSS, and Dirac can replace most Flash/Silverlight features.
