I've just discovered the GMP license problem. (see http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/ReplacingGMPNotes)

From my understanding, the gmp is GPL, GHC statically links it on windows.
As a consequence, any program compiled using GHC must be distributed under a GPL compatible license.

In the threads I've read, some workarounds are proposed on linux and OsX, but I didn't see anything on windows.

Is the situation still the same  ?
Does anybody know a work-around to make a closed-source programm in haskell without violating the GPL ?

( Note this could block Haskell in our company. )
