Indeed, many GHC distributions dynamic-link against it, minimizing the legal concerns; and IIRC the gmp license explicitly allows the use GHC makes of it as long as the gmp symbols are not re-exported as part of its API (which they aren't). -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
