Q: What license or licenses are you using for the Mono Project?
-A: The C# Compiler is released under the terms of the GPL. The class
- libraries will be under the LGPL or the GPL with a special
- exception. The runtime libraries are under the LGPL.
-
- Since the LGPL is not suitable for embedded systems development, we
- are also licensing the libraries under the GPL with the following exception:
-
- If you link this library against your own program, then you do not
- need to release the source code for that program. However, any
- changes that you make to the library itself, or to any native
- methods upon which the library relies, must be re-distributed in
- accordance with the terms of the GPL.
-
- This is similar in spirit to <a
- href="http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/classpath.html">GNU
- Classpath.</a>
-
-Q: Can I subclass objects within the LGPL licensed Mono code and still release
- the resulting software under a closed license?
-
-A: Yes. Subclassing does not "count" as a modification to GPL'ed code.
- This means that you may use subclasses when developing proprietary
- code with Mono.

Q: I would like to contribute code to Mono under a particular
license. What licenses will you accept?
A: We will have to evaluate the licenses for compatibility first,
- but as a general rule, we will accept all GPL and LGPL-compatible
- licenses. If you want to use the BSD
- license, make sure you use the BSD license without the
- advertisement clause (The `Ousterhout License').
+ but as a general rule, we will accept the code under the same
+ terms of the "container" module.
