        Why is this an issue?

        Assemblies should conform with the Common Language Specification (CLS) in order to be usable across programming languages. To be compliant an assembly has to indicate it with System.CLSCompliantAttribute.

        Compliant solution

        using System;
        
        [assembly:CLSCompliant(true)]
        namespace MyLibrary
        {
        }
