monodoc Licensing

Joshua et al,

You wrote and contributed to the monodoc module & many related
utilities, such as monodocer, monodocs2html, etc., in addition to
monodoc/engine and related documentation providers.

The monodoc module currently claims to be under the GPL, as does
`monodocer --version` and monodocs2html.

How would you feel about relicensing these contributions under MIT/X11?

No major reason, aside from an eventual simplification of Mono's
licensing policy from GPL/LGPL/MIT-X11 to LGPL/MIT-X11, and I don't see
much reason to prevent non-GPL-compliant reuse of these libraries and
apps...

Thanks,
 - Jon

Hey, Jon.

I'm fine with anything, and simplification is my middle name (or, at
least, the point of my domain name). You can consider any of my
contributions to monodoc in the public domain.

Best,

Hi Jon,

Long time, no talk. I hope you are doing well. MIT/X11 is fine for
anything I've written in monodoc.
