Hi, Cafe!
Probably, it was asked before but I could not find an answer with help of
Google.
I have a library which is hosted on Hackage. The library is licensed under
BSD3. It is a very specialized library for a small target group. Now I'm going
to relicense it and release a new version

Thanks Thu,
I agree with you. Just I don't know what to write in the license field of the
.cabal file: GPL or OtherLicense. The both choices seem correct to me and
misleading at the same time.
Cheers,

Well, if you are willing to grant me a GPL license when I download
your package through Hackage, GPL is accurate.
Again you are not providing me with another license. Obtaining a
commercial license should be seeked through other means, perhaps by
sending you an email. I don't think Hackage should
Perhaps it would be best if .cabal allowed to have more than one license
listed.
Another solution would be to use custom field, for example:
License: GPL
x-Other-License: Commercial, see License-Commercial.txt
All best,

Unless you want to provide multiple open source licenses, I don't see the point:
Anybody that needs a commercial license (and has some money) will
simply ask for such a commercial license when seeing that the code is
available under GPL.
Another reason it is pointless is that you will certainly
I am inclined to use value OtherLicense but state in the description
that the package is available either under GPL or a commercial license.
The latter must be requested to me. Then there would be no required
additional steps to use the package under GPL. Only the LICENSE file
must be
I'd say OtherLicense because:
data License = GPL3
is different from
data License = Commercial | GPL3
I hope this analogy to Haskell data types is convincing :)

Again I haven't seen a reason to do what you propose: virtually every
single GPL library author would gladly accept money for their work to
be used in a closed source setting, no need to use OtherLicense to
reach that effect.
On the other hand, you will stop people interested in open source to

No. If I provide a library to you stating you can use it under the
term of the GPL3, this does not prevent me from providing it to
someone else under a different license (provided I have the rights to
do so, for instance because I am the copyright owner).
So as far as you're concerned (and this

I second this.
Also, I would like to point out that the product you get from Hackage
(the source code) will be licensed under the GPL. Nobody can get the
commercial version of the product from Hackage, as one has to contact
you (the owner) directly or in some other manner.
I guess that is what
Hi Cafe,
Is it guaranteed that the value of `ForeignPtr` will not be changed (for
example due to compaction etc) by haskell garbage collector until it goes
out of scope and finalizer is run.

One question is how much of a discovery/indexing role Hackage plays. There
can be a tremendous difference in ease of obtaining a commercial license,
and a restriction for things I can use in a proprietary project, once I
pay enough seems like a legitimate use case.
It also has some bearing on

The pointer held in a ForeignPtr is not managed at all by the GC. The
ForeignPtr itself is a GC'd object and runs a finalizer (a function
receiving a pointer) with the value it holds when it is destroyed.
For example, if you allocate a C resource in one foreign call and then

Greetings cafe,
As some of you might know, I'm hacking on Haddock as part of Google
Summer of Code. I was recently advised to create a blog and document
some of what I have been doing recently. You can find the blog at [1] if
you're interested. The first post goes over the work from the last

HDBI has some improvements in design, it also has better testing and
performance (mainly because of using Text instead of String anywhere).

Hi Mateusz,
This looks great — I'm especially excited about List entries no longer
have to be separated by empty lines!
However, the decision to use Attoparsec (instead of Parsec, say) strikes
me as a bit odd, as it wasn't intended for parsing source code. In
particular, I'm concerned with error
