Donates or “donates”? As “all yours” or as in “it’s ours but you do the work”?

as in “your fork is official now, we have our own compatability in .net and there’s no need to maintain it”
The recognition is nice, but there hadn’t been a major release in over 5 years. I’d guess the outcome is mostly paperwork

Does Mono have any purpose any longer? What is the point now that dotnet core is so well-established?
- Domi ( @domi@lemmy.secnd.me ) 22•3 months ago
Yes, Mono is used by Wine to support Windows .NET applications since it’s a) open source and b) contains support for Windows Forms and other Windows-only APIs.
They can’t ship the regular .NET framework by default for licensing reasons but it can be installed with winetricks to replace Mono, which is sometimes necessary for compatibility reasons.

Microsoft donated mono to the wine project

Yea I know. But I still can’t believe it.
Microsoft finally sees they can’t code.
