Philip,

If I'm not mistaken, the Mono class libraries are licensed under the
MIT X11 licence, not [L]GPL.  It's in the FAQ.

   Question 131: What license or licenses are you using for the Mono Project? 

   The C# Compiler is released under the terms of the GNU GPL. The runtime 
   libraries are under the GNU Library GPL. And the class libraries are 
   released under the terms of the MIT X11 license. 

   The Mono runtime and the Mono C# Compiler are also available under a 
   proprietary license for those who can not use the LGPL and the GPL in 
   their code.
