In general, you could just change your licencing to GPL, requiring
people to provide source to enable relinking/everything else, and sell
private licences to people who don't want to open up their code.

At least that's what I do, I don't like freeloaders.[1]

Concerning Haskell, just tell them to use the ghc-lib and link (or even
compile) at runtime.


[1] Things like Haskell and lua are exceptions, I'd release them
under BSD, too. But then I didn't ever do such a thing.
