[Mono-list] MonoDroid/MonoTouch for FLOSS/hobby development?

I'm interested in using the MonoDroid/MonoTouch technologies,
specifically MonoDroid, for developing F/LOSS software.  However, with
the current pricing model of MonoTouch ($399/year for one developer)
this is incredibly cost-prohibitive.

As the Android platform is more open, are there any plans to make
MonoDroid available for free or at a substantially reduced cost for
hobbyist/FLOSS developers?  I'm not paying 400 bucks so I can write
stuff for fun on my own time.
