[Mono-list] ASP.NET and Licensing

[Kornél Pál]

Hi,

If you don't want to use ASP.NET and/or System.Windows.Form it's up to you 
but note that the fact that there is a closed source implementation of them 
(i.e. Microsoft .NET Framewrok) doesn't mean that you should avoid their 
open source implementations (i.e. Mono or Portable.NET, IMHO Mono is much 
better:).

Note ASP.NET is not as Windows centric as SWF so the cant take advantage of 
Linux specific functionality thing is less true for ASP.NET than for SWF. I 
think that ASP.NET is platform independent enough. But you can enhance 
ASP.NET using Mono specific assemblies like Mono.Http or Mono.WebServer that 
are platform independent so can be used on MS.NET as well.
