Also, the AODL project's home page says that the library is 
Apache2-licensed; however the AODL library relies on the SharpZipLib 
library, which is GPL2 with some Classpath-like exception explained here:
http://sharpdevelop.net/OpenSource/SharpZipLib/
http://sharpdevelop.net/OpenSource/SharpZipLib/GPL.asp

It looks like someone removed this GPL SharpZipLib dependency when 
someone did a Silverlight port, but I don't see that this patch is in 
the main code, but rather in a fork:
