The runtime refers to the libraries and code that make up the mono runtime
itself. It's not every library on which the mono runtime depends...those
are under many different licenses, and the mono runtime links to them so it
needs to have a compatible license, just as your code would need to be
released under a compatible license if you link directly against the
runtime.
