Mono implements a good bit of .NET, but not all of it. That doesn't make it any less of an open platform.

- nailer 16y agoReally? I consider .net a closed platform, as it is controlled by a single vendor, there is no patent guarantee (as Miguel has mentioned) and the alternative implementations (like GNash does with Flash) always lag behind. (I happen to like .net, by the way, I just think it's closed.)
- wfarr 16y ago.NET is a closed platform — but Mono, which does implement parts of .NET in addition to their own changes, is an open platform. All of Mono's design and implementation is transparent.
