I read the license a week or so ago and your concerns are valid, however, they do not affect end users in so much as the worst MS can do is tell you to remove non-conforming libraries. I'm not real familiar with C#, however, when I did read the license, I interpreted it that the burden of the all or none compatibility is with the mono project itself. If it really comes down to it, you can choose to skip the Microsoft provided bits (libraries?). They are 'free to use' and are 'open source' but not free as in rights, you can't modify and redistribute. If that were a valid argument, Sun's Java never could have been in the book either. Fortunately, that is well on the way to a fix.
