Okay, looking at the home page of mono-project, I see that they now claim 
Microsoft sponsorship.

I understand the sentiment, but I think it's a highly impractical idea.

Of course, I thought Mono was a highly impractical idea when they first 
started out. Trying to duplicate the technology of a company which is 
dedicated to making its stuff so complicated that only they can produce 
and sell compatible stuff is an exercise in futility.

Which means that, if you did fork Mono, you'd soon end up either stuck 
in a niche of history or sponsored by Microsoft. Futility or futility.
