Beginning Questions

Dear all,

I am new to Mono and I am considering it for a new web project.
What I would like to know (and I couldn't straightforwardly find an
answer to) is:
 - is it possible to develop commercial web applications in which you
can pack a whole web app and send it to a client without disclosing
the source?
 - is there any library of existing components already implemented?
 - which solutions are provided as development environments for major
platforms (Linux, Mac OS X, Windows)?

Cheers,

Paulo Matos

Yes, Mono is under the Lesser GPL.

?  There are many components developed on Mono, and many of the
"normal" .NET components will work well.  Take a look at Gaia widgets
<http://ajaxwidgets.com/>.

You can use Visual Studio on Windows,  which I think is what most people
do.   Or you can use Monodevelop on LINUX (GNOME) but the ASP.NET parts
are pretty weak (no designer).  I don't know anything about OS X.

Surely you meant MIT X11?

Yep, I was assuming he was referring to the class libraries since
those are the only components whose license has any bearing on his
question.  :)
