License
=======

The Mono project uses the MIT X11, GNU LGPL version 2 and the Apache
License 2.0. We also imported some Microsoft code licensed under the
open source Microsoft Public License.
The Mono runtime, compilers, and tools and most of the class libraries
are licensed under the MIT license. But include some bits of code
licensed under different licenses. The exact list is [available here] (https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/master/LICENSE).

Different parts of Mono use different licenses. The actual details of
which licenses are used for which parts are detailed on the LICENSE
file in this directory.

When contributing code, make sure that your contribution falls under
the appropriate license. For example, contributions to code licensed
under MIT/X11 code, should be MIT/X11 code.

The runtime (`mono/...`) is a special case. The code is dual-licensed
by Xamarin under both the GNU LGPL v2 license and is also available
under commercial terms. For the runtime, you should either sign an
agreement that grants Xamarin the rights to relicense your code under
other licenses other than the LGPL v2 or your contribution must be
made as an MIT/X11 license which grants us the same rights, but
involves no paperwork. For the latter case, please specify on your
commit(s) that you are licensing the changes under MIT/X11.

For other parts of the project that are dual-licensed, please state
on your commit(s) what license you are contributing the changes under.
