Note that .NET is a framework, rather than a language.

I'm not sure if those implementations use .NET specific APIs. If they do, .NET is more accurate than C# imho.

As long as it's compiled to 'binary'* (used as a package, as 99.999% of the users will use it) it doesn't matter in which .Net language it was written, it will work with any .Net project (be it VB.net, F#, C++/CLI, IronPython, ... basically any language that has a .Net binding). So the language isn't very relevant is basically irrelevant. And even if you want to include the (C#) source, you can simply add the project to your solution, regardless the language (again, as long as it's a language with a .Net binding) and reference the project and it'll work. So if you ask me I think the .Net designation is a much better choice than C#. If anything, I'd change the F# and C# ones (and maybe others I may have overlooked) to .Net too (@mcb2001, @lucasschejtman)

* And if you want to be really pedantic you could say MSIL, nowadays better known as CIL.
