JAPI license allows it. In fact, it is one of the most liberal licenses I saw. It says: is free software. You can use under the conditions of the licence GNU Lesser General Public License In short this means that you can use free of charge and you can also embed it into proprietary, non-free software. Could you tell me what should I do to make my version and examples available?
Did you try to identify and email the original author?
No, the author does not provide an email. In fact, I am not sure whether my implementation is idiomatic. Therefore, I would prefer to use the patches of the original author.

So, I searched for JAPI bindings for Haskell. The only library I found was something called Small Japi binding for GHC. The package is incomplete, and bug ridden.
I don't know anything about this particular library, but this happens. Now that we have Cabal and Hackage making tons of libraries easily available, what's still missing is a good way of ranking equivalent libraries by completeness and usefulness.
I wonder whether the author fixed the bugs, completed the package, and added more examples.
Did you try to identify and email the original author?
In the mean time, I fixed the bugs of Small Japi Binding, and added a few important components (j_textfield, j_settext, j_gettext, j_button, etc.) Of course, a link to a more recent version of the official binding will save me a lot of work.
