You want ghc-5-0
Simon,
Thanks for your help on this. I can't quite see how you got what you did.
I followed the instructions in the cvs cheat sheet.

213 cvs login
216 cvs co -r ghc-5-02 fpconfig
217 cd fptools/

Well, nothing like a good license debate to wake everyone up ;-) Anyone
heard of a "bikeshed" discussion before?
Firstly, let me make it clear that GHC won't be switching to the GPL or
even a dual license in the forseeable future. The University of Glasgow
agreed to the BSD license, and frankl

Not including the parts that aren't allowed, I suppose, i.e. Readline
the library, and the readline functionality of GHCi. The library is
easy to avoid for developer
Sorry for starting this GPL flame war. It was not my intention.
I'm not worried about the license on ghc itself, but more on the fact
that by using ghc to compile non-gpl programs you can violate the
