Bug#382184: License clarification of haskell-edison



Hi,

I am trying to get the Edison library into the Debian archive[1] and
during that process some question arose about the license of Edison. The
README file states

 "Edison is released under a BSD3 style license.  See the COPYRIGHT
  file for details."

and the source files state

 "License     :  BSD3; see COPYRIGHT file for terms and conditions"

But if I look at the COPYRIGHT file it contains the MIT license [2]
instead of the BSD3 license [3]. 

This means that either the COPYRIGHT file is wrong ore the License
statements in the source files and the README. I guess the wrong license
was pasted in COPYRIGHT, but I do need clarification before the package
can be included into Debian.

Greetings Arjan
