[MonoDevelop] Monodevelop brother

[Christoph Wille]

Our stance is clear and very simple to understand: we do not include 
closed-source "add-ons" with the #develop distribution - even if they are 
free as in beer. Only open source tools are included in the bits that can 
be downloaded.

We do not stop anyone from downloading other free tools.
