Why should your code be licensed under GPL?

I think your code is covered by whatever license you wish.

An aggregate work, on the other hand, would need to be covered by the GPL, and all source code would have to be available under GPL terms. So if you distribute your code linked to or incorporating the GPL library, the whole must conform to the GPL license (source availability and redistributatbility, etc).

Your contributions could still be licensed under a different license (e.g. BSD), as long as the licensing doesn't prevent somebody else to pick it up and relicense it under GPL.

At least, that's how I understand things.

Right. So hakyll is absolutely fine with a BSD3 license, AFAICS. Cheers Ben
