FSF: FOSS developers "still should not write software that depends on Mono"

By Pamela Jones et al.

ADVERTISEMENTS
The Free Software Foundation has issued another statement on Mono, C# after the recent Microsoft extension of the terms of their Community Promise to implementations of ECMA 334 and 335.

Is it safe to go back in the water now, as so many have been saying? FSF says no, that the "promise is full of loopholes, and it's nowhere near enough to make C# safe." The article also offers to help Microsoft get it right, if it is sincere in wishing to really reassure FOSS users it doesn't intend to sue them for using Mono.

It's an important enough topic that I'm reprinting the article in full for your consideration.
