Hi all, I note with some sadness the more restrictive license that may be placed on the "Haskell 98 Report", as reported by the HC&A. The great openness/freeness of haskell, both the report and implementations, is, IMO, one of its most important features.
I have just grabbed a copy of the latest revised report under the current licence. AIUI I can continue to publish this under the current licence and, assuming I change the name, incorporate any fixes etc (assuming the fixers agree to it). Also, Debian can continue to have a copy in main in the same way. I would really prefer it if such forking wasn't necessary, but if the above is the case (I am not a lawyer, etc etc) then I guess it isn't the end of the world - I must admit to not seeing what CUP would be getting out of it if this is so, though.
