Just because it is running does not mean Microsoft will not threaten their
patented IP is in it and want you to stop using it, pay them millions, or
just use Windows instead of your favorite other OS. Do you know for a
fact that the mono CLR is completely free of Microsoft patented stuff?
They have, in fact, declared that they will not assert IP over other
implementations of the CLR. It's for the CLR only, but not the other
stuff.
A bare implementation of the ECMA standards is covered by a grant in
the standards itself.
