I'm still not a lawyer, but I would imagine that: * The Haskell 98 report licence applies to the whole report, including any code it contains, any APIs it defines, etc * If you take some code or an API from the report, then you have a modified version of the report * You will have the same problem with the base package Thanks Ian -- Ian Lynagh, Haskell Consultant Well-Typed LLP, http://www.well-typed.com/ _______________________________________________ Cvs-ghc mailing list Cvs-ghc@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-ghc
