For past year or so, a group of us at ARM having been developing some software in Haskell. We have recently discovered that there may be a licensing problem if we wish to release a Windows version of the software. No doubt others have encountered the same problem, so we would be very grateful for any advice on how to solve it. The problem is that on Windows, GHC statically links the program with the libgmp library, which has an LGPL license. The LGPL license says that we can distribute the executable under our own terms, provided that we do this: Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. Does anyone have any experience of doing this with GHC? Is it relatively straightforward? Or better still, has anyone figured out a way of avoiding the problem by dynamically linking with libgmp on Windows? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
