This is ridiculous.  By your account Mono may as well
use Shared Source, to be ok with Microsoft.

Remember, Mono is a Free Software project, and
supports the goal of advancing Free Software.  The
license for the run time system should be either the
GPL, the GPL with exceptions (like the Guile
license/libgcc license), or the LGPL.
