Indo ao encontro da posição de Stallman, a Software Freedom Law Center também veio com a sua posição oficial apoiar o que RMS já tinha dito.
Um presente envenenado, trazido por Miguel de Icaza e quejandos, para o mundo do Software Livre.
"Finally, I close with the advice that I and my colleagues at SFLC constantly give Free Software projects: don't be paralyzed with fear over software patents. There are likely some USA patents that read on any software you write. Make good choices (like avoiding C#, as RMS suggests, and favoring languages like Perl, Python, PHP and C), and get on with your work. If, as a non-profit Free Software developer, someone writes you a threatening letter about patents or sues you for patent infringement, write to <help@softwarefreedom.org>; that's what SFLC is there for."

Eu sou um grande fã do C#, mas tenho que concordar com eles... para quem quiser estar "descansado" e puder optar, mais vale começar a desenvolver numa dessas linguagens "free" do que arriscar arrepender-se no futuro.
Dito isto, bem que gostava que a MS tornasse o .net e o c# completamente opensource... pois seria a melhor forma de aproveitar o que fazem de bom. :)
Certo.
Uma coisa assim deste tipo?
"Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, Google and its affiliates hereby grant to you a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in this License) patent license for patents necessarily infringed by implementation of this specification. If you institute patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the implementation of the specification constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses for the specification granted to you under this License shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed."

Só sei que o mono é um macaco e tem o patrocínio da Novell.
Não sei muito mais sobre Mono, nem me interessa...
