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.
