Mono C# Compiler Under MIT X11 License

Posted about 1 month ago by Mono Project (mo...@novell.com)

Starting with version 2.0 of Mono, the Mono C# compiler
source code will also be available under the MIT X11 license.

We are changing the license to allow parts of the compiler
to be reused as part of MonoDevelop, our LINQ class ... [More] libraries
and to embed it in ASP.NET.

In MonoDevelop: This will allow the compiler to be
used to improve code-completion to support C# 3.0 as well as
improving the heuristics when offering completions. This
will reuse the front end and parts of the backend.

Compiler hosting inside ASP.NET: This will embed the
whole compiler into the ASP.NET process, eliminating about one
second for each compilation of a piece of code. In the past,
for each request for an uncompiled resource, we would have to
call the compiler, wait for its output and then load the
output. This typically shaves between 0.7 to 1 second on
those scenarios, ideal to improve the developer experience.

LINQ Class Libraries: This will allow us to reuse
parts of the compiler in our System.Core implementation for
LINQ for the current 3.5 generation and upcoming generations.
Many corner cases are handled by the compiler, and we will now
be able to lift those pieces. This will mostly use the
backend of the compiler. [Less]
