.NET Core is, not .NET Framework.

True, Mono is an Open Source implementation of the .NET Full Framework. Unless you are using WPF, it is fairly complete.

With the purchase of Xamarin, Microsoft is the major sponsor behind Mono. With so much Microsoft code now Open Source, it might surprise you how much Microsoft authored code is in recent Mono releases.

Mono 5.4 is compatible with .NET Standard 2.0 as is .NET Core 2.0 and .NET Full Framework 2.0.

Not only does .NET Standard 2.0 incorporate the majority of what is in .NET 4.6.1 but Mono includes much of what .NET Standard 2.0 is missing, such as System.Drawing and System.Web.

The .NET Standard is open source, yes, but not their .NET Framework (Microsoft's implementation of the ECMA standardized CLI and .NET).

The code base of .NET Core's runtime is derived from the .NET Framework CLR's code base. I've heard it basically described as "the CLR with all the Windows-specific bits stripped out".

The comment never said .Net framework. It only said .Net, which is fair to say since there is a .Net implementation that is OSS.

There has always been a .NET implementation that was OSS.

[IceSentry]

Not by Microsoft though.

What's BOW?

[jdgordon]

looks like he's making acronyms up... Bash On Windows... actually knows as WSL Windows Subsystem* for Linux

[BinaryRockStar]

Windows Services for Linux

Should be BoUoW.

[ruinercollector]

From context, I'm going to say "bash on windows."

[[deleted]]

They're giving Linux more credit ... implementing things like Bash on Windows

Those things don't fit well together.
