[Haskell-cafe] Re: base-4 + gtk2hs-0.10.0 licensing

[Peter Verswyvelen]

So that is interesting. If you don't distribute a program that makes use of
LPGL libs (e.g. a downloadable EXE), but you provide a remote view (in this
case a web) on a server that runs that program, then the license does not
apply...
Oh well I should just let the lawyers look into all these licenses, it's not
my domain.
