one interesting question you not mentioned - whether it will be
possible to include in GHC bundles non-BSD licensed libs and tools.
although it seems more on behalf of packagers, it's still interesting
to discuss here. one thing that i definitely will be glad to see is
MissingH library
Certainly our bundles do include non-BSD components, for example GMP and the
readline package. There's no problem with this, the only requirement is that
the unit for licensing is a package, so that users stand a chance of being able
to properly comply with licenses by just knowing which packages they use.
As for MissingH, I'd rather see those libraries be incorporated into more
canonical packages. John has done a lot of great work there, but I think we
shouldn't be pushing libraries named 'MissingH.*', if these are libraries with
important functionality that we want to adopt then they should move into the
hierarchy proper.
Cheers,
Simon
