Mono Project News

Miguel de Icaza has written a statement on Mono's position to the opening of the .NET source code.

Since the source code release from Microsoft later this year will not be open source, this code will have no impact on Mono's schedule as it will not be able to use any of the information included in this code.

Mono's policy on contributions continues to be the same that we have had over the years: if you have seen Microsoft .NET source code in any shape or form (soure code, decompilers, through NDAs or research licenses), you will not be able to contribute patches to the Mono implementation.

For more details about Mono's policies, see our contributing page.
