Lesser GPL: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html It doesn't actually have a section 2(c) as per the wiki. Section 4(d)0 of the LGPL is traditionally taken to allow static linking, as long as you distribute a) The source of the version of GMP you use (corresponding source), and b) Object files/libraries for your program + the GHC RTS suitable for static linking with your user's (possibly modified) builds of the distributed GMP source. jcc _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
