Why is mono in Fedora

[interele]

Why when Fedora tries to be 'GPL correct' and excludes things like adobe flash and mp3 stuff does it include Mono

Moonlight is usable for anyone on any distribution of Linux (redhat, ubuntu, etc.) -- it is not limited just to Novell as Mono is.
Hope this helps.

So if mono is limited to Novell why is it in my Fedora 9 ? I am now very confused
Is it GPL ? and if it is why is MS saying things like the above ?

These are just two and will explain everything to you. If you don't want Mono, then do as I do and:

yum remove libgdiplus

This will remove the infection. Anyway, thread closed.
