Using the GPL (or a strong copyleft free license) strengthens the free software community of which I thought the Haskell community is a part (or at least intersects substantially).
Haskell libraries are mostly BSD licensed, as is GHC itself. (Oddly enough, GPL is not the only open source license.) Since most Haskell stuff is BSD licensed, GPL can cause license conflicts that do not exist with most other Haskell libraries. This is why GPL is not recommended for new Haskell libraries. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
