"Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team"
What does that even mean? FOSS projects don't belong to anyone. Was there a trademark that was handed over? Do they mean that Microsoft isn't going to maintain it anymore and Wine volunteered to? Or Microsoft is pulling their sponsorship of Mono?
