The H-Matrix and the prelude numeric packages however, which in my mind cover really important ground work, are issued under the resprictive GPL.

I think your description of "restrictive" is contentious...

Is that only because they link into other external GNU - libaries with GPL license ? -- If yes would be repackaging the haskell-native bits in an extra BSD package an option ?

Or else because the developers _wanted_ to license it under the GPL. Some people do, you know. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
