Oh and to clarify, I mean the completely open sourced equivalent...not the Sun equivalent.

Correct.

Mono is a project led by Novell (and Ximian, previously) to create a standard compliant .NET compatible set of tools. That includes a C# compiler and a CLR. Mono is cross platform, on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, UNIX, Mac OS X, Solaris and Windows operating systems.

Oops, I forgot about Mono but I don't think that's what I'm looking for. Mono is just .NET on Linux--I'm looking for the completely open-source grassroots alternative to .NET providing similar capabilities but not necessarily a port of .NET or Java. I read about it all the time but can't seem to remember what it was called.

Actually, this might work. How does the licensing work with Mono apps/services?

Read the docs. Don't take just anyones word on legalese. Ever. ;) (especially anonymous people you don't know)

AFAIK, Mono is only .Net 1.1 compliant.
.Net 2.0 Compliance is slated for next year...

Sorry, that was a bit childish - even for me.
