In Oracle's Ellison gambles with OpenOffice's future
Sorry but you are mistaken if you think that Mono has acceptability in the FOSS world simply because of MS's licensing. There is no office product group that uses the .Net framework - MS Office certainly doesn't as it is too large a project to rewrite in .Net. The .Net framework hasn't really taken off for traditional application development except for small scale projects.
Mono is second fiddle to MS's offering because they haven't full support for .Net 2.0 nevermind 3.0 or 3.5. I certainly wouldn't be developing any kind of .Net solution on or targeted towards Mono.
