What do you mean by "Invoke the GPL"? Let me preface this by saying that I'm
not a lawyer or a legal expert, however I believe that if you mention that
the source is available on www.mono-project.org you should be covered if you
want to distribute mono with your software. If you distribute a derived work
(ie change the code), then you'll need to post the source for that derived
work online. I should also point out that things compiled by mono aren't
required to be licensed in any particular way.

Even if .Net redistributable contains a compiler, my question for
redistributing mono on windows is about licensing. If I redistribute
mono on windows using the current installer (which in includes the
compilers), wouldn't that invoke the GPL (since the mono compilers are
GPL)?

Thanks,
Jonathan
