Joshua et al,

You wrote and contributed to the monodoc module & many related
utilities, such as monodocer, monodocs2html, etc., in addition to
monodoc/engine and related documentation providers.

The monodoc module currently claims to be under the GPL, as does
`monodocer --version` and monodocs2html.

How would you feel about relicensing these contributions under MIT/X11?

No major reason, aside from an eventual simplification of Mono's
licensing policy from GPL/LGPL/MIT-X11 to LGPL/MIT-X11, and I don't see
much reason to prevent non-GPL-compliant reuse of these libraries and
apps...

Thanks,
 - Jon
