Hello all How do I mark a Cabal package as containing a BSD3 library and an LGPL executable? I'm using CppHs (LGPL) from the exe but have no dependencies on it in the library; as the library might be independently useful I want it to be BSD3. As a caveat - I don't want two packages... Thanks Stephen

Why not look at how cpphs does this itself? The library is LGPL but the executable is GPL. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com

Hi Ivan Thanks. As far as the Cabal file goes - CppHs is LGPL, its in the included README that the GPL distinction is noticed. Possibly this isn't the clearest way of presenting things... On 29 April 2010 12:52, Ivan Lazar Miljenovic wrote:

Well, currently Cabal only lets you specify one license, so your options are to either use OtherLicense like Bulat suggested and then specify in the License file what's what, or else do as cpphs does. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com

I suggest submitting a feature request for Cabal: permit separate licences on each executable stanza. Regards, Malcolm
