NO APOLOGY!  You are missing the point.

If it is NOT a linux native interface, it is NOT an analog of 'mono'.
Call it what it is: DotNetFramework or something like that.  Just do
NOT make the mistake of tying it to the contaminated package, even if
it is only by using a similar name.

This is because legal risks are fairly high here, and APPEARANCE does
account for a lot in that domain.  While the odds are somewhat in favor
of any legal action coming out correctly if the tech is right, it IS a
crap shoot and the lawyer's are the only sure winners.
