[Mono-list] 3rd Party Components Developed Under Mono

[Jonathan Pryor]

Mono, the *application*, is GPL.

Mono, the *runtime libraries* (JIT, GC, etc.), is LGPL.

The runtime libraries include libmono.so, libmonogc.so, and
libmono-profiler-cov.so.

At least, this is my current understanding.  This should probably be
clarified on mono-list (not to mention, *documented* in mcs/LICENSE), so
I'm copying them in my response.
