[MonoDevelop] Licensing concerns.

[Mike Krueger]

Hi

I don't know if it is possible - you could dual-license the new code 
GPL/MIT X11, but I think that's difficult to manage because MonoDevelop 
code needs to link to GPLed code somewhere ... but for independend 
libraries I don't see a problem.

Regards
Mike
