So if you use LGPL for your Haskell libraries, all of which are currently statically linked and non-replaceable at runtime, it is unlikely any commercial Haskell house can use the code.
As already mentioned, you can ask the author nicely for a different license - BSD for instance. Or you can fix the dynamic linking issues in GHC, as Duncan points out. But you can also use it for *open source* software (which is non-proprietary, but may still be commercial). I think LGPL works nicely for open source software - unlike the GPL, which would force the entire program to be released under that license, there should be no problem shipping a BSD- or MPL-licensed program using an LGPL library, as long as source is available. -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
