IANAL, but this is not something you can just pick if you are not the 
copyright holder.  If you ported Rhino from Java to C#, or just copied 
significant parts of Rhino and changed the syntax to work in C#, while 
writing your own new, independent hunks of C# to fill in gaps, then you 
can't relicense without permission of the Rhino copyright holders.
