The Mono Mystery That Wasn't

Posted by Soulskill on Friday March 26, 2010 @03:41AM from the context-is-everything dept.

jammag writes "It was shocking news, or so it seemed: Miguel de Icaza, the Mono creator, was switching his opinion about his life's work — he now seemed to agree with the free software partisans who oppose his Mono work and his Microsoft connections. The story flamed across the Internet and even got picked up on Slashdot. But Bruce Byfield reports that 'De Icaza has not changed his opinions.' De Icaza calls the rumors 'a storm in a teacup.' Tracing the misinformation trail, Byfield concludes that 'the FOSS community excels at communication. However, in this instance, that ability was used irresponsibly.'"

I love linux, but I also really like c#. Let me say it in stereo: I love mono, I love mono :D But you are spot on. Don't like it, then don't use it. But I really don't see the reason for attacking someone who is working on a great project that 99% of the flamers would not have the skills for to even consider such an ambitious project.
