Hm? Wasn't it already dual-licensed MIT and GPLv2? I guess they just got rid of the GPL option? What's the point if it was already dual-licensed?

edit: Oh, I see. They used to sell LGPL exceptions for the library and GPL exceptions for the tools. I guess they have decided to stop selling exceptions and just give everyone an exception:

Seeing how they were already able to sell exceptions, they must have been sole copyright holders, so they should have no problem changing the license of everything.




It was dual-licensed LGPL and commercial

Edit: The class libraries where in fact always MIT. The runtime however was not.
