The Mono discussion may be tiring, but the fact of the matter is that thanks to this discussion, various major Linux distributions are now making official statements detailing their position in the Mono/C# debate. The latest to do this is Ubuntu, which reiterated their position yesterday.

What I find hilarious is that the anti-mono people just want to make a statement against Microsoft.
Microsoft has so many patents that removing Mono would have no impact on Microsoft suing Linux. Any half-decent lawyer would comb through the mountains of code and nitpick every single patent violation, and then slap linux companies with massive lawsuits. Not sure why the online self-proclaimed "patent law experts" don't realise that.
Even worse, you don't see them demanding that closed source kernel modules are blocked from the kernel (such as the nvidia drivers), because technically, they are a violation of the GPL.
