I think, there is some issue with the GMP library which is used for implementing the Integer type and which is licensed under the GPL, AFAIK.
It's the LGPL not the GPL. See http://gmplib.org/
When GHC compiles a haskell program, it seems to statically link in libgmp. I don't believe that libgmp's license has a static linking exception. Therefore it would seem that the resulting haskell program must be distributed only under the terms of the LGPL(either providing providing the full source of your haskell program, or providing your object files). Or am I missing something? Thanks, Bit
