[Mono-list] RE: Mono-list digest, Vol 1 #761 - 8 msgs

I do not know about the license, but I assume it would be ok to use it on
mono classes.
Run the tool, and use common sense about the errors it reports. If in doubt
ask on the list.
For instance FXcop checks to see if a namespace has too many classes (should
be split) or too few classes (should be combined). The real test of
namespace size is does this stuff go together. Many of the .NET name spaces
have too many or too few classes by FXCop standards. Of course we would not
split or combine the namespaces.
This is just one example. When working at the library or compiler level,
this that might not make sense otherwise can still be good.
Still FXCop is a good tool, and if it flags something as bad, it should at
least be looked at.

Subject: [Mono-list] FxCop?

Hello,

I recently saw Miguel mention FxCop. I'm not sure about the licensing 
stuff, so I'm asking here (hoping someone can answer this question):

Is it allowed to use FxCop on the (mono) class libraries / assemblies 
and (based upon it's analysis) modify the mono sources?
Or rephrasing:
Are we allowed to use this tool to improve Mono?

If the answer is yes, then how are we going to proceed with this?
Do we agree with all the rules it checks, etc? Is it ok for me to run 
the tool on a certain assembly and start "fixing" things?
