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

[Daniel Hughes]

I to was hoping to create a few open source apps however the $399
would create a large barrier to contributions.

Are there any plans for an alternative licence or product for open
source and hobbyist development.

Cheers,
Daniel Hughes
