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. +CLA +======= + +Contributions are now taken under the [.NET Foundation CLA] (https://cla2.dotnetfoundation.org/).
