Can you > point me to the offending files? I am indeed referring to the C# wrapper of cairo. Gtk# builds a .so and .dll for cairo, which AFAICS can be used independently from the rest of Gtk#, and which AFAICS is only derived from sources that carry a MIT license (i.e., everything in the cairo/ directory). (cairo itself is still LGPLv2+, of course. However, since this is a different shared library, the cairo# .dll and .so could be used with a differently-licensed implementation of the cairo ABI).
