[MonoDevelop] Monodevelop brother

[Christoph Wille]

I usually do not go public unless I'm close to 100% sure I'm on to something...

Mike's post clearly has enough evidence that you are using ours as well as 
someone else's source code. Note that we did not perform an exhaustive 
comparison, just enough to prove the misappropriation of source code.

The meat: it is fine with us that you release the code under GPL. However, 
it is not that you also sell it as a commercial offering. We expect as a 
courteous act from your side that you take it offline immediately, I don't 
actually want to get into the issues of you offering it in the first place.

Closing words: we do not feel like searching your code and telling you 
where you blatantly used ours or someone else's. We expect that you do the 
right thing.
