Moonlight License???

[Nevyn]

Is anyone else confused about moonlight?

Under http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight#Licensing:


Moonlight 1.0 is licensed under the terms of the GNU LGPL, it is a pure C++
engine.

Moonlight 2.0 contains code that is licensed under the terms of the GNU
LGPL and the MIT X11 licenses, it includes the graphical C++ engine, the Mono
Runtime <http://www.mono-project.com/Mono:Runtime> and the Mono class
libraries.


But they offer up "Moonlight 4 Preview". I'm wondering.... just how
concerned I should be?
Regards,
Nevyn

Novell release Mono under several different licences. Moonlight contains
Mono code so will contain code under those licences. The class libraries
use the X11 licence.
