Mono Project If you don't like personal, blog-style reporting, you might want to skip this item. A few days ago, during a speech at Software Freedom Day in Boston, Richard Stallman has, at least in my book, crossed a line that I thought he would never cross.

It's a fact, not an RMS opinion.

1. Microsoft's CEO thinks that Free Software is a cancer.
2. Microsoft is against Linux, Java and almost any open technology.
2. Miguel De Icaza works for Microsoft.

If you work for the enemy, you are a traitor. It's a fact.

PS: In my personal opinion, Miguel De Icaza is a genius and a very nice guy!! But that's because I'm not a Free Software advocate. From a FSF point of view, De Icaza is a complete traitor to the cause.

Yeah, I knew that!! :-P But I thought He was working with the Microsoft's Open Source Lab or something like that.

BTW Miguel is always advocating in favor of Microsoft technologies... He even tries to put C#/Mono inside GNOME (which is very cool for me). But for FSF and GNU people, that's a really big threat!! It's like a Trojan horse for them!

Novell is getting millions from Microsoft, partly in support for Moonlight. Miguel's salary is funded by Microsoft, or do you think Novell's letting him do all this work for nothing?

If people want to use C# so badly, port it to run on top of the Parrot VM, and all of it's code will be interoperable with Perl 6, and the other Parrot languages that will come out. Wouldn't that solve everything?

The real world doesn't compute that easily or cleanly. It's all gray, combination of spectrums of widely varying orthogonalities.
