I don't know ... I just read the FAQ ... and found this curious .. it is 
not often that I see an OSS project say this explicitly in their FAQ ...

There are some projects that had people to think it was free and then later
pushed a non-free release (Sourceforge ?) .. So I appreciate mono being 
honest with their contributers ....
