Plus, Apple is playing ball with free software (at least with these packages). Your typical Linux desktop has even more dependencies with other big companies (think Sun or Red Hat) and few people are really concerned.

Actually, I don't see the problem at all. Mono is a reimplementation of a patent-encumbered framework which could cause trouble. What is your concern about Apple and CUPS or WebKit?
