My thinking and choice to use Mono is just the opposite of (below), I 
use it for web servers
(not deployed), running on my own servers (hosting customers web sites),
as if in years to come there is a licensing issue, it effects only a few 
of my "web servers",
if i was making a app. that could have a wide commercial audience, then 
i'd be a bit more worried,
so I believe Mono is a very safe choice for web services based on a 
worst case licensing scenerio,
and if that issue ever came to pass, hopefully I could jump to a 
different class stack for those services.
