The source was available, but it was not under an open-source license
(it was Microsoft Research Shared Source license). There were a few
restrictions (i.e. on its redistribution). It's now an Apache 2.0
license.

Yes. The last F# release is a bug-fix for Mono. Unix users might be
interested by the packages:

Also, since the license change, the Mono team plans to distribute F#
as part of Mono for both OSX and Linux.
