[Gtk-sharp-list] gtksharp-runtime-2.7.1-win32-0.4.exe License Confusion

[Rafael Teixeira]

I've not checked source-by-source file to be sure, but from reading
the README, I think the normal logic of Mono for licensing applies:
probably only the executable programs, like the native glade-2 GUI
designer, are GPL licensed, all libraries are either LGPL (GTK+
itself, GTK#, the managed layer above GTK+) ) or MIT (Mono.GetOptions,
for instance).
