To my knowledge, the LGPL only allows *linking* with non-(L)GPL software. But GHC doesn’t just link but performs massive cross-module inlining. So in my opinion, LGPL is not a solution, too. Use BSD3! Best wishes, Wolfgang _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
