Hallo,
Gtk2Hs and HDBC are both LGPL licensed, but aren't they always static linked? Is there a way to use them in closed-source programs?
This is not the FSF, and most of us don't buy into the FSF's theories on static linking. Of course, if you want any kind of assurances, you'll have to contact Duncan Coutts directly (for Gtk2Hs, I dunno who for HDBC). (And the FSF's control over Gtk+ itself is irrelevant since while GHC can only statically link haskell code, it CAN dynamically link FFI libraries.) Stefan
