The lcc license disallows selling lcc (or parts derived from it) which
would make it incompatible with the GPL license used for mcs.  The msil
backend has the MS Research EULA, which prohibits modifications.

Lcc is a nice compiler though, and the current mono jit uses a similar
code generation method (burg).  And there's presumbly nothing to stop
people using lcc.NET to generate testcases for mono.
