I've just discovered the GMP license problem. (see http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/ReplacingGMPNotes) From my understanding, the gmp is GPL, GHC statically links it on windows. As a consequence, any program compiled using GHC must be distributed under a GPL compatible license. In the threads I've read, some workarounds are proposed on linux and OsX, but I didn't see anything on windows. Is the situation still the same ? Does anybody know a work-around to make a closed-source programm in haskell without violating the GPL ? ( Note this could block Haskell in our company. ) -- Best Regards, lionel Barret de Nazaris, ========================= Gamr7 : Cities for Games http://www.gamr7.com
