[Mono-osx] License for CSharpPlugin?

[Allan Hsu]

I haven't looked at Susan's plugin, so I don't know how it's  
architected (my own uses of Mono don't require a lot of C#  
development in XCode). The FSF's opinion on GPL plugins for non-free  
applications may be of interest:

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLPluginsInNF

We're currently going through a GPL->LGPL relicensing effort with  
Perian for this reason (among others).
