On Patents, Promises and 'Ugly' Patches

http://www.linuxinsider.com

For some, Redmond's decision to apply its "Community Promise" to C# and CLI came as a great relief. For others, caution was the watchword. Then there were those who were downright suspicious: "We do not respect promises of drug dealers and pedophiles; we should not accept the promise of a habitual offender of anti-competition law to restrain its evil tendencies," said blogger Robert Pogson.

FSF: FOSS developers "still should not write software that depends on Mono"

http://www.groklaw.net

The Free Software Foundation has issued another statement on Mono, C# after the recent Microsoft extension of the terms of their Community Promise to implementations of ECMA 334 and 335.

Mono: Why is Debian resorting to spin?

http://www.itwire.com

The question of using applications that are dependent on Mono has been a vexatious one for a long time.

My take on the Mono/C# debate

http://drfav.wordpress.com

I’m f*cking tired of hearing random people screaming out why mono is cool or not. These kind of people don’t even know what coding is about, or they just learned Java or C# at university and they’re like “oh shit, I can code!!”. STOP THAT.

Why free software shouldn't depend on Mono or C#

http://www.fsf.org

by Richard M. Stallman
Debian's decision to include Mono in the default installation, for the sake of Tomboy which is an application written in C#, leads the community in a risky direction. It is dangerous to depend on C#, so we need to discourage its use.
