Hmm, Gtk2Hs & wxhaskell - major GUI libs...

wxHaskell uses a modified LGPL license (wxWidgets license). One that allows static linking. See http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/WxHaskell/License . From the description of the wxWidgets license http://www.wxwidgets.org/about/newlicen.htm : "The wxWindows Licence is essentially the L-GPL (Library General Public Licence), with an exception stating that derived works in binary form may be distributed on the user's own terms. This is a solution that satisfies those who wish to produce GPL'ed software using wxWidgets, and also those producing proprietary software." Greetins, Mads Lindstrøm
