Chris Blizzard, manager of Red Hat's desktop group, announced on his blog, ReadHat will include Mono in FC5. Mono is an open source project that implements the Microsoft's .Net and sponsored by Novell.

Mono includes software called the Common Language Runtime to execute programs written in the C# programming language. With Mono, developers can write C# applications for Linux.

Chris said aboout Mono:

It’s already been used to build some pretty neat apps, including beagle, f-spot, and tomboy...


Is this a good reason to include Mono in Fedora and not in their commercial distro ?
