"reverse engineered" means a lot of things to different people. Can you elaborate on this and ensure it's in compliance with: http://www.mono-project.com/Contributing#Important_Rules > I could send these upstream to Mono, but since there are a lot of > files to be added, I'd like to know how should I proceed. That would be great :) and a patch will be fine (for review). But first please read both: http://www.mono-project.com/Contributing and http://www.mono-project.com/Coding_Guidelines > They would > probably need at least reviewing, Yes > should I write some tests before they > can be accepted? Yes, definitively! Unit tests (nunit) are required to ensure it works correctly (on both MS and Mono runtimes) and ensure no future regressions. > Does Novell have some copyright policy I should > consider? Releasing them with the MIT license shouldn't be a problem. Our class libraries are MIT.X11 licensed, so as long as you can release this code with that license there should not be any problem.
