That's extremely uncharacteristic. Are they trying to prepare for an antitrust probe?

It's not that uncharacteristic. Mono is a fully open source project they didn't create, didn't really work on, and one they can't extract any value from. So this is basically a gesture that doesn't cost them anything, but at the same time it doesn't do much except generate a headline.
