Thanks John,
I think this is a valuable discussion.
The compromise you propose wouldn’t address the main point – the fear
and aversion of using (L)GPL IP in proprietary IP.
Is that fear well-grounded or not? If not, then people should be
educated.

This seems a timely email, as I've been submitting a steady-ish
trickle of patches to HDBC-postgresql lately. Honestly, I'm rather
dissatisfied with HDBC in many respects, but I don't have a very
good idea of what a (low-level) database access library for Haskell
*should* be, and I've found

BSD-like license? The LGPL license is a significant barrier for me and I
expect it will be for others.
And, along the lines of your own comments, the ODBC interface raises a
significant (technical) barrier for MySQL use
Hi folks,

meet. Most of them relate to specific backend driver items.
