[Mono-list] The license problem

	Theroetically you can use link to an interface, but 
practically you need some way of accessing the implementation. 
	You either need to get the reference to implementing
class in your program code or use reflection to instantiate a class based on
some runtime parameters (just the way JDBC drivers work). In the
second case, your program need not be GPL but I am not sure if 
this allows a user to invoke the GPLed Interface implementation.
