- seabass-labrax 3y agoI'm sure; there are still threads that come up from time to time in GNU circles about whether Mono is actually FOSS (TLDR: it is), in which those of a more paranoid personality allege an EEE attempt by Microsoft. If this were the case, Microsoft clearly did not succeed even without Java as a legitimate competitor! Interestingly, Mono has had most success from its use in the Unity game engine.
