.NET Core is a free and open source partial implementation of the .NET Framework. It consists of CoreCLR, an implementation of the Common Language Runtime, and CoreFX, a partial implementation of the Base Class Library. It is a fork of the proprietary .NET Framework[3], but it has been modified to be more modular and cross platform. Additionally, it comes with an improved JIT compiler, called RyuJIT[4].
The project is hosted at GitHub[5].
License
Both CoreCLR and CoreFX are licensed under the liberal MIT License. Additionally, the project is covered by the Microsoft Patent Promise.
