(this is something i've been sorting out for my own projects too, and to the best of my knowledge its all bsd3)

admission: I'm actually likely to be providing a repackaging of ghc & the haskell platform with some additional tools for data analysis / machine learning to some enterprise customers come the fall, so thats why I have any thoughts on this matter. (but bear in mind that folks are this list aren't lawyers :) )

I guess it means that the license of individual packages is what that matters.
The platform on the whole does not have any single license.

In other words, I cannot just say that am using haskell platform but that I have to say, I am using x,y and z libraries which in turn are using a, b, c and d libraries.

Ouch! Apologies. Guess I was looking at all the wrong places or my google-fu is embarrassingly bad.

Thanks again for the links!

A quick search suggests that this still hasn't been decided:

http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ticket/85
http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/wiki/AddingPackages#Interimlicensepolicy

I believe it still holds that all packages included in
haskell-platform are BSD3 licensed.
