I don't believe this is true at all.

My understanding (backed up by people who have fought this licensing
debate since the beginning of time), is that we can release MonoDevelop
as a GPLed product, and have it include MIT X11 code. The MIT X11
license will apply to 'all new code', which would mean any new
assemblies, like the SourceEditor, or new code placed into the core
assemblies.
