[MonoDevelop] Monodevelop brother

[J.M.Piulachs [Sand!]]

Hi , just to clarify

Yes I'm writting a free IDE. It's dual licensed (GNU and comercial) like a
lot of other great products (myxaml , ezPublisher..) , the thing is :
(extracted from SDE website)

Sand SDE software is 100% GPL (General Public License).  If your software is
also 100% GPL compliant, then you have no obligation to pay for the
licenses.  For further information on the GNU GPL, click here.
Please note the following restrictions.  If these do not suit your needs,
you should consider a commercial license.

  a.. Sand SDE is free use for those who are 100% GPL.  If your application
is licensed under GPL, you are free to ship any GPL software of Sand SDE
with your application.
  b.. Under the Open Source License, you must release the complete source
code for the application that is built on Sand SDE, excluding the source
code for operating system components that are usually installed on the
computer on which the application will be installed.
  c.. As long as you do not distribute your application, you are free to use
Sand SDE regardless of whether your application is GPL or not.  Basically,
the rule is, you can't distribute it unless 1) it's open source, or 2) you
obtain a commercial license from Sand SDE.
  d.. You are allowed to modify Sand SDE source code any way you like as
long as the distributed derivative work is licensed under the GPL as well.
  e.. You are allowed to copy Sand SDE binaries and source code, but when
you do so, the copies will fall under the GPL license.
The rule is every body can use this product for free but companies must pay
a small fee if they are going to earn money with it.
