But we do have to make GHCi "available under the GPL" whatever that means.
I assume it means I must be allowed to take GHCi and re-release it with modifications under GPL only.
Actually I'm dubious about the notion of compatible licenses - I read the GPL carefully and I still don't see how it is compatible with the BSD license at all
I thought 'compatible' only meant that a BSD (without advertising claus) could be incorporated in a GPL product.
This is *so* annoying when all we're trying to do is write free software here. Grrrr.
Right. May I suggest ignoring the problem until somebody actually challenges it? Unless somebody's working on a proprietary product incorporating GHC, the compiler remains very much in the spirit of free software, so I don't think it'll be a problem in practice. The library issue must probably be sorted out, though. -kzm -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
