Moonlight (open-source implementation)

Moonlight is an open-source project that aims to create a free version of Microsoft's Silverlight, a framework for building rich internet applications. With Moonlight, developers can run and create applications originally designed for Silverlight on non-Windows platforms, such as Linux and Mac OS. It allows for features like multimedia playback and interactive graphics, making web applications more engaging. By being open-source, it encourages collaboration and innovation, allowing anyone to contribute to its development and use it freely without licensing restrictions. Moonlight helps bridge the gap between different operating systems and web technologies.
