Hi, I just received a clarification of the license of Haskell-Edison. Upstream will adjust the README and the Licence headers in the source files in the next release. The license of haskell-edison is the MIT license as stated in the COPYRIGHT file. Greetings Arjan

I see I did not pay sufficient attention to the actual license wording. It is indeed the MIT license (as originally licenced by Dr. Okasaki), and the text of the COPYRIGHT file is correct. My classification of it as a BSD3 license, is therefore incorrect. Sorry for the confusion. I'll get this straightened out for the next release. In the meantime, the text of the COPYRIGHT file is the correct license. > Greetings Arjan > > [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=382184 > [2] http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php > [3] http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php -- Rob Dockins Talk softly and drive a Sherman tank.
