You quote from the Mono FAQ. But, unsurprisingly, there is no corresponding entry in the GNOME FAQ (that I am aware of, at least). I think such an entry regarding Mono in the GNOME FAQ would go a long way to addressing concerns from some of the community about the relationship between Microsoft, Mono and GNOME.

I'm just surprised, because it's about as justified as a FAQ entry explaining the 'relationship' between GNOME and Python, or GNOME and GCC, etc. etc. In other words, the FAQ entry should read: Q: What is the relationship between GNOME and Mono? A: No special relationship exists. There is a very small number of GNOME apps utilizing Mono. The programmers of those apps chose to use Mono, and GNOME sees no reason to reject their work just because of that, just as we accept apps into GNOME (if they are worthy) that are written in Python, C, C++, Perl, etc.
