Re: Haskell Platform Proposal: HLint

Libraries with non-BSD deps haven't been considered for the HP, and would be problematic, in my opinion. Applications are far less of a concern, though guaranteeing that anything in the platform can be hacked freely for any use would be a positive statement. -- Don ndmitchell:

HLint is currently GPL licensed, but if that ever became an impediment to anyone doing anything with it I'd be willing to relicense it as BSD, including if that was the only thing blocking inclusion in the platform. HLint relies on cpphs and hscolour which are LGPL/GPL, which may be a problem.

Personally I'm neutral on the issue, but I think the Platform avoids GPL code - I can't find the policy stating as such as the Platform website doesn't seem to link to the "meta" discussions and policy. _______________________________________________ Libraries mailing list Libraries@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/libraries
