If you think open-source server technologies are limited to Linux distributions, think again. Although these software projects pair well with Linux, it isn't an integral part of any of the 10 listed. Open-source software no longer refers to a Linux-only environment.

What sort of a cockamamie "open source" server technology list is this?

Hey,
Mono is technically Free Software. Dangerous technology or not, you can't skew information like that.

Re: Hey,
You do not really understands dangerous of Mono, as I can see. Patent restrictions are leading even either open-sourced or GPLv2-copylefted software to the dead point. Stallman did not realize all the danger of patents at the beginning. But you can be sure that GPLv3 includes words about unability to use something covered by prohibiting patents. Many people thinks that free software is only about opened source and ideology (I mean those that is different between open source and free software movement's definition). But free software under GPLv3 also show us dangers of patents, and many people like you and Miguel de Icaza are trying to point us to strict free software definition by Stallman. But FSF tolds us that patents are exactly the same restrictions and sections in non-free licenses.
Soon, people infected by Mono and similar ``free'' software will find themselves in a trap, from which they can not escape (only by switching the whole software pack they use again). Even I -- who lives in Russia, and there are no software patents (they are not allowed): are understand quite good this problem.
