" In contrast, the Mono Project development platform provides open 
source developers with a true "build once, deploy anywhere" tool set 
taking advantage of the myriad of services enabled by Microsoft.NET. 
Under the terms of the GPL and the LGPL licenses used by the Mono 
Project, developers can write and distribute commercial and proprietary 
applications, something that is not possible with the Microsoft "shared 
source" license."

This seems very strange to me.
The main argument is the ability of developping proprietary software.


(but, by the way, I dont understand FSF and RMS support to Ximian, 
since that company dont care about everything that is said at 
www.gnu.org (for example, simple thing as No Gifs, Free Software 
instead of Open Source...))


BTW, is Mono usable without proprietary .Net ?
