[Mono-list] Licensing question

[Dan McGregor]

Hello,

I'd like some clarification on the Mono project's license. It was
announced that it would be switching to the MIT license, and that
change has been made in the master branch on Github.

Does this change also affect older stable mono branches such as 4.4 or
4.2? The latest tarball of 4.4 has the old license information in it.

So, will the new license only apply to new releases cut from current
master, or are older releases also going to be re-licensed?

Thanks,
Dan
