Actually the component framework (CLX) Kylix uses is open sourced. There is a sourceforge project that has the CLX in CVS. Now Borland has done a bad job bringing developers into this project but the code is there. The IDE Kylix uses is not GPL so that is the distinction between the 2 halves. There is also a personal version of Kylix that is free (as in beer) and can be used only to develop GPL applications for Linux. Because of this I do not see anything that will not keep Borland from incorporating Mono framework into the CLX framework. I don't think they have to embed the C# compiler into Kylix just have the IDE call the compiler.
