Mono is effectively controlled by Novell who have just signed up with MSatan for 'something' . Now while it is theoretically possible for it to go to GPL3 we shall have to wait and see. However from my readings of many newsgroups etc mono is rapidly developing pariah status. M de Icaza has too much invested in it to back down I think so Gnome just got shafted. To assume MSatan intended for this to happen is probably to give them to much credit but you can bet they're gonna milk it for all its worth.
