LGPL is less restrictive than GPL. It allows you to link your software against shared libraries (in this case GTK) and not to publish your source code. When you distribute your software, you may include copy of GTK binary libraries installer and it's source code.

Let me stop you right there. Because to me, the only problem is the fact that GTK is not natively included with either windows, mac, or mobile OSes, and due to LGPL, it's very unclear if you can legally bundle it with your application. > > GTK is LGPL, not GPL. But you need a lawyer to understand if that's ok for you, because the GPL itself is one long-ass license, and the "Lesser" part almost doubles its length. It's not an attractive license, like MIT. > _______________________________________________ > Mono-list maillist - [email protected] > http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
