Patents aren't what free software is all about, although they are a part of the issue. In any case, C# isn't non-free in the same sense a non-free program is. In fact, there are free C# programs in the Trisquel repository, although people in the community, including me, will discourage using C#.

See for example: https://www.fsf.org/news/dont-depend-on-mono

I'm actually quite well aware of the distinction between free software and non-cost. :)
