thinking. He suggested that people may be "intimidated by the size of MissingH, confused by the undescriptive name, and don't quite know what's in there." And I think he's right.

first, is it possible to integrate MissingH inside existing core libs, i.e. Haskell libs supported by Haskell community? i think that it will be impossible if MissingH will hold its GPL status. i think that such fundamental library as MissingH should be BSDified to allow use it both in commercial and non-commercial code

A small addition: some GPLed libraries (libstdc++ AFAIK) allow linking with proprietary software by adding clause to lisence which relaxes GPL requirements. -- WBR, Max Vasin.
