								Mono is made up of many pieces of code, all of them open source, but
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								different pieces of Mono use different licensing terms.

								* Dual Licensing
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        Parts of Mono are dual licensed, they are available to the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        public in GPL or LGPL forms, but we also offer those pieces
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        under commercial terms from Xamarin for the cases wher the GPL
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        and the LGPL are not suitable.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        We have tried to pick the licenses that will maximize adoption
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        of Mono, so we tend to use the MIT X11 or LGPL liceses.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        Contributions to dual-licensed module require that the author
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        contributes the code under the terms of the MIT X11 code, or
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        to sign an agreement that allows Novell to redistribute the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        code under other licenses.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        Contributions for other modules should be under the same license
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        terms as the rest of the module, or under MIT X11 terms. 
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        For the actual license links in the Mono distribution see the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        bottom of this file.

								* The Modules
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								** mono/mono: the Mono VM
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        This code is dual licensed under the LGPL or commercial licenses. 
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        The LGPL ensures that Mono can be used in most scenarios, but
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        gives Xamarin the flexibility to relicense the code for
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        embedded systems, static linking or commercial settings where
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        the LGPL can not be used.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        We consider non-LGPL use instances where you use this on an
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        embedded system where the end user is not able to upgrade the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        Mono VM or Moonlight installation or distribution that is part
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        of your product (Section 6 and 7), you would have to obtain a
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        commercial license from Xamarin (consider software burned into
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        a ROM, systems where end users would not be able to upgrade,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        an embedded console, a game console that imposes limitations
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        on the distribution and access to the code, a phone platform
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        that prevents end users from upgrading Moonlight).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        Contact mono@xamarin.com for details on obtaining the Mono
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        runtime under other terms.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								** mono/support: MonoPosixHelper and support code
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        This code is dual licensed under the LGPL or commercial licenses, with
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        the same guidelines as mono/mono code.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        The ZLib files are included under a "new BSD"-style license.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								** mono/eglib: Mono's X11 glib implementation
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        This is a minimal subset of glib that is to be licensed under
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        the terms of the MIT X11, this means that this code can be
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        used for any purposes by anyone.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								** mono/metadata/sgen*: Mono's Copying Collector
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        This new garbage collector is licensed under the terms of
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        the MIT X11 license, in hopes that the GC could be reused
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        by third party projects, follows the same spirit than the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        Boehm GC.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								** mono/arch/*/XXX-codegen.h
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        This are C macros that are useful when generating native
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        code on various platforms.   This code is MIT X11 licensed.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								** mcs/mcs, mcs/gmcs
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								          The C# Compilers (1.0 and 2.0)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        These compilers are dual licensed under the GPL and MIT X11
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        license terms.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								** tests
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        Unless explicitly stated, the tests are under the MIT X11 license.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								** mcs/class
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        The class libraries developed by the Mono team are licensed
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        under the MIT X11 terms.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        In addition to the class libraries developed by the Mono team,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        there are a number of class libraries that we bundle as part
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        of the distribution that were integrated from third-parties or
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        that contain code that was originally licensed under different
							 | 
						||
|

								        terms, these are:
