Never mind the legal stuff, is there any technical reason for having
Mono in the core distribution?  (Or in the distribution at all.)

One of the first things I do after installing Fedora is remove
mono-core and its dependencies.  A tiny number of applications depend
on Mono, none of which I miss.  I'm sure they could easily be replaced
with non-Mono equivalents for those who do find them useful.

With Java itself now Free Software why bother with Mono?
