Yes that lib was added in Mono 2.4 and already removed as part of my
work.

Yes thats exactly part of the problem:
a) it's shipped in binary form only, which violates the DFSG
b) the original version has a different license than the one that was
copied, but as it's shipped as binary we can't tell, and if the
relicense was "correctly made" we can't tell either. Would have to ask
the original author and/or the author who received the relicensed
version.

See above, non-DFSG -> removing.

Because mcs/class/RabbitMQ.Client/docs/specs/amqp0-9.xml is licensed
under a non-free license, and is required to build the lib, it has to
be remove too. That is the source + a patched build system that will
cope with the removed source. It would help very much if you could
provide a patch to do this.
