This is *so* annoying when all we're trying to do is write free software here.

This reminds me... who legally owns GHC?

Mostly the University of Glasgow. Various bits belong to other copyright holders: code from the Haskell Report(s), code from the FFI spec, the regex library from FreeBSD, and GMP. None of it is owned by Microsoft. Cheers, Simon
