I want to build my software using GHC on windows without getting a LGPL license. Currently, the libraries that cause this problem is indeed only integer- gmp. Choosing integer-simple instead of integer-gmp is indeed a valid solution. However, since any package that is linked could cause the same problem on windows, I prefer to keep the intention of this issue broad. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16144#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

I changed the title because there's nothing "invalid" about the current license, and even for 7.x and 6.x releases gmp has been statically linked. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16144#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

If you want something else to be done that can also be taken into consideration. But the keywords and title before were just wrong. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16144#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Hence, since GHC on windows statically links its libraries with my source code: all my source code is LGPL code when I want to support the windows platform. For most organizations, a LGPL license is NOT acceptable. So maybe the title should have been ensuring acceptable license of software developed with GHC on all platforms. And indeed, for now releasing an integer-simple ghc version does the trick, but I think GHC should address the general problem to become acceptable/ increase usage on the windows platform! -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16144#comment:8 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
