This is actually quite simple:

You have the same kind of thing with Silverlight and Moonlight:

This is logic as Microsft themselves stop the development of Silverlight.

To have a better understanding of how you could have several framework to run the same source code, I recommand you to understand what is the CLR: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Language_Runtime

In a fabulous world, the same source code should behave exactly the same running with Mono or .Net (idem with Silverlight / Moonlight), as soon as your target is the same version of the framework.

Hope this is clear enough.

Main difference is the development environment. Moonlight provides means for developers to develop Silverlight (like) application in *inx environment using SharpDevelop. (removed the running environment from the answer).
