I&#x27;d like to know if by undermining parts of Xamarins business they were able to get them at substantial discount<p>As a CoreCLR contributor, my impression was always that the mono-team was extremely happy about .NET official going open-source and how that made it possible to align the two code-bases in a much better fashion.<p>I don&#x27;t think I&#x27;ve ever seen CoreCLR portrayed as an effort to &quot;undermine&quot; Xamarin or mono. Rather I&#x27;d take it as an imitation, the ultimate form of complement.<p>Where did you get&#x2F;form that picture?
