Good news: Free Haskell to come out RSN!
Dear fellow debian'ers,
Mark P Jones (the author) has indicated to me that the next release of
HUGS, an elegant implementation of the pure functional programming language
Haskell, will be free:

Let's applaud this development that will make it possible to include
Haskell scripts in main :)
Cheers,
Kristoffer
