I didn't even know that site existed. Let's add them to the thread! softwarefreedom.org, what are your opinions on what was discussed in this thread: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2012-December/105193.html Is there anything that we, as a community, should know about? Should we proceed differently? Thanks, - Clark (you might need to sign up to haskell-cafe to post. maybe use a different account?)

That's true. However, haskell.org's fiscal sponsor receives pro bono legal services.
I may have been conflating threads, though the response to what I assume was just a lawyer asking a question seems excessive too.

Just thought I'd mention: It is possible for anyone involved in a FOSS project to get pro bono legal advice from the SFLC, from actual lawyers who are highly familiar with the legal aspects of FOSS licenses:

I'm not sure if they are willing to help those who are trying to /avoid/ making a free software product, but they would likely be willing to answer any generic questions about applicability of the GPLs, derived works, etc.
