I got this stupid question in my mind, even though i strictly follow what is being mentioned above, there is a 100% probability that I may end up developing something which is exactly the same as Microsoft has developed. So will that cause a problem?
Copyright only concerns *copying.* If you come to the same solution on your own, you are OK. The guidelines you quoted ensure that this is what actually happens.
Also the last statement mentions that published documentation should be referred before implementation, so does it mean published documentation by Microsoft or by Mono. if it is the latter, then the documentation by Mono does not contain the information that i am looking for. In that case how should I proceed?
I interpret that last statement to refer to Microsoft's documentation: The documentation describes an interface and not an implementation. Therefore it is "safe" to look at.
I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, in your jurisdiction everything might be different.
