Is there a .NET clone ????

I thought I saw something about a free (legal) clone version of .NET in this forum somewhere. Does anyone know of this?

Thanks!

The .Net Framework and SDK are FREE.

The Integrated Devlopment Enviroment (IDE) is what cost the $$$$

Look at #Develop (thats the only free one i know of hand)

Or
he means the Standard edition .

Here is the link for sharpdevelop:

You can download the .Net CLR command-line compilers for free from Microsoft. Not an easy way to do it...but free.

p.s. thanks to directx4vb for this info.

and if you are looking for an open source version of the framework, then that would be at www.go-mono.org I believe.
