Donates or "donates"? As "all yours" or as in "it's ours but you do the work"?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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
And that’s how you know it’s worthless
Okay, a suspicious thanks to you, Microsoft...
...So when can we get this treatment for WMR so all our VR headsets don't become useless bricks kthaaaanks!
Technical debt is transferred to Wine team.
They were already maintaining a fork of it though?
"""donates"""
Does Mono have any purpose any longer? What is the point now that dotnet core is so well-established?
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.
Thanks!
What is happening?
Microsoft donated mono to the wine project
Yea I know. But I still can't believe it.
Microsoft finally sees they can't code.
Well that was unexpected
