title: Selling commercial software for Mono
body: <p>If the Mono project is successful it will pave the way for commercial software on non-Windows platforms.</p>
  
  <p>I am interested in the prospect of writing and selling commercial software for the Mono platform along the lines of our existing Smoke Vector Graphics (OCaml) and F# for Visualization (.NET) products. Are any commercial library developers already building upon Mono and, if so, are they turning a profit from it?</p>
  
  <p>Also, will it be feasible to write the software in Microsoft's F# language or will Mono have trouble with ILX?</p>
