Marketplace and license

Can someone explain to me what this means that Marketplace allows applications under BSD, MIT, Apache Software License 2.0 and Microsoft Public License. Does this mean that I can’t use the DLL with this license, or is it just for the whole application? Because, for example, the Windows Phone Toolkit is licensed under Microsoft Public.

The only “prohibited” licenses are:

Excluded License "means any license that requires as a condition for the use, modification and / or distribution of software covered by the license that the software or other software combined and / or distributed with it must (i) be disclosed or distributed (ii) licensed to create derivative works or (iii) distributed free of charge. Excluded licenses include but are not limited to GPLv3 licenses. For the purposes of this definition, "Licenses GPLv3 "means the GNU General Public License version 3, the GNU Affero General Public License version 3, the GNU Lesser General Public License version 3, and any equivalents to the foregoing.
