All developers would have to do is include the acknowledgment stated
above.
I think this is not bad for specific applications, but forcing this
upon all code compiled by GHC would be bad. I think the compiler
should not link applications by default to things that force
license related things.
Most packages (including the base package) already force you to do
license-related things when you distribute binaries:
- Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice,
this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation
and/or other materials provided with the distribution.
The OpenSSL license is no worse in this respect.
