Re: Thinking about what's missing in our library coverage

As an aside: are you aware of the problems using LGPL in the context of GHC statically linking libraries by default (in that they degenerate to GPL, or require significant extra workaround).

Given that GHC has statically linked *all* the binaries it produces against an LGPL library for at least the last 15 years, I think it is a little bit late for everyone else to start worrying about it! I am aware of the issue (and indeed use the static linking exception in all of my own LGPL-released code) but in any case, dynamic linking (by default) will soon be coming to an optimising compiler near you (or so I hear from the people who are paying for it.)
