MonoDevelop already has an AST for at least C#, not sure about other
languages - but the focus for code metrics is likely for C# anyway.

I'll let Michael Hutchinson answer this question, because I honestly don't
know. I suspect that as long as they are under an appropriate license, it
doesn't matter. (Appropriate being MIT/X11, Apache 2.0, or something like
that).

There is already some API to facilitate refactoring, but I'm not sure what
is needed. The best person to answer this question would be Mike Krueger.


Hope that helps,

Jeff
