After releasing Mono 1.0, we started work on a new edition of Mono that will be released later in the year.

We cannot choose one desktop over the other – Gnome or KDE – because there’s users for both code bases.

When it comes to .NET they’ve done a really outstanding job.

So if we’re going to build new applications that require a large time investment, like say movie editing – today that doesn’t matter for the enterprise desktop, but eventually it will when we get closer to consumers – you really need to have a cross-platform story.

All of our code is open source, so it can be used for other projects.

In the GNOME project we tried to keep the platform language independent.

Software is like sex: It’s better when it’s free.

In addition to that, Mono has produced a very large set of extra libraries.

I’ve never worked with the Java community.

Our strategy in dealing with patents in Mono is the same strategy that any other software developer would take. In the event of a patent claim, we will try to find prior art to the claim of the patent.
