Hello,

	Until now, the licensing situation for MonoDevelop has been a bit up in
the air. All of the code that originated from SharpDevelop is licensed
under the GPL. However, the licensing the various existing contributors
to MonoDevelop itself have been using is kind of up in the air.

I am going to be explicitly using the MIT X11 license on all new code
that I write for MonoDevelop, and would like some input from various
contributors/users about mandating the MIT X11 for new code inclusion.
What I would like to see is everyone relicense all their code inside MD,
both future contributions and past contributions, to MIT X11. However, I
would like to get some discussion going about requiring/making this
change.
