I understand, you need the compiler though since mono uses a JIT (just in
time compiler), which means that it doesn't actually compile to bit code
until just before it runs (before that it compiles to and intermediate
language which is abbreviated to IL).Once again, I'm not a lawyer but as
long as you make sure to mention where a user can get the mono source and
you should be in compliance with the GPL.

FYI, only compiler and tools are GPL:
http://www.mono-project.com/FAQ:_Licensing

My little app doesn't need the compiler (as well as some other
components). So, I'm trying to save some size and avoid redistributing
anything GPL since I don't necessarily completely understand it :-).

Thanks,
Jonathan
