Eric,
~    Your claim that Mono "could easily rival Java" is rather general and
quite unfounded.  If you want to start a thread on Mono advocacy, then
feel free, but the issue at hand is appropriately respecting licenses.
~    There are people on the Debian development teams who have gone to
great lengths to ensure that order and propriety are maintained within
the Debian packaging system, including observance of and adherence to
licenses.  If you are going to flout adherence to licensing, please keep
it to yourself and cease with this relativistic rhetoric.

Sincerely,
