As a complete noob considering making a commercial venture into Haskell, may I 
ask what people's opinions are on this? Are there many Haskell products?

Our expertise is in scientific, numerical and graphical computing. Our product 
catalog should elucidate this:

  http://www.ffconsultancy.com/products/

I'd like to know how feasible it would be to rewrite some of these products in 
Haskell. For example, our time-frequency add-on for Mathematica might sell a 
lot better if it were a standalone cross-platform GUI application or even a 
web application. Is it feasible to write such a thing in Haskell? Are any 
core Haskell libraries non-free for commercial use?

Also, would anyone be interested in a Haskell for Scientists book, following 
our OCaml for Scientists and forthcoming F# for Scientists books?
