The cabal setup recognises a small set of licences which I don't think

Thankfully the FSF are particularly anal^W well-organised about this
kind of thing and they make it very easy to determine what each licence
is and how to apply it
BSD3/BSD4:
There appears to be one explicitly-named BSD licence on the OSI site.
There is also a closely related MIT licence. I don't know which would be
which, if these are the two referred to in the licence data type.
<http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php>
<http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.html>
Something that has always confused me about .cabal files is that BSD
has two versions but GPL only has one version and I don't know if I'd
be selecting GPL version 2 or 3. Could it be changed to support
different versions of the GPL like it does with BSD?
Thanks,
Jason
