There was a Paint.net fork (called Paint mono), but it is not Pinta. Pinta is a clone. From the original Pinta author: https://jpobst.blogspot.com/2010/02/over-holiday-break-i-stu... "Pinta is a clone of Paint.NET."

I've messed around with the Pinta code in the past and a lot of it is (seemingly) directly adapted from the old Paint.NET sources.
