Since they run on .NET as well - they are independant
of Portable.net as such :).

Limitations are pretty clear - if you need to make
changes to DotGNU adapt commercial applications ,
those changes have to be made available to anyone
who recieves the modified binary (which means, if 
*I* don't get a binary, I can't ask for source 
either).

Hmm.. this is the same license Kaffe/Classpath uses .
Shouldn't be a problem at all ...
