The risk in picking yet another licence, one that satisfies your opinions on software freedom, is even more confusion. If the usual BSD-like licence doesn't do it for you, I would be concerned about adding yet another licence into the mix if you don't have to. Just use the LGPL, and add explicit exceptions if it makes you feel better.
We know where we stand with GPL, LGPL and BSD. More licences causes more confusion.
Despite that there does seem to be some confusion relating to using the LGPL with an advanced compiler/linker as GHC I think you are right: adding more licenses to the mix is a serious problem. For now I will continue to release Haskell modules under LGPL and programs under GPL and if people would like to put the code to use in a non-free way they'll simply have to ask me. Hopefully this is something that people are used to doing. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
