There isn't any official Fedora legal policy that is specific to Mono. Fedora legal policies are not language or runtime specific. I can't speak for Red Hat (or RHEL) but Fedora has accepted Mono (due to OIN which you can read more about at http://gregdek.livejournal.com/4008.html) and Mono applications are available in the repository and I don't see that changing. I am the Gnote maintainer in Fedora and Fedora replaced Tomboy with Gnote as the default note taking application in GNOME due to space constrains in the Live CD. F-spot (A mono application) is still installed by default if you use the Fedora DVD image. I discussed these false rumours in more detail at https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2009-June/thread.html#00158 Hope that helps.
