The Haskell 98 Report

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

Folks,

As you know, Cambridge University Press are doing us the huge service of =
publishing the Haskell 98 report, both as a special issue of the Journal =
of Functional Programming (Jan 2003) and as a hardback book (it'll cost =
around =A335).

I'm very, very, very happy to say that, following discussion with CUP, =
the copyright and reproduction arrangements for the report will remain =
unchanged; i.e. exactly as they are at:
    =
http://research.microsoft.com/~simonpj/haskell98-revised/haskell98-report=
-html

I'm signing a letter that grants CUP a *non-exclusive* license to =
publish the Report, but it places no limitations on what else may be =
done with it.  The copyright will still be (c) Simon Peyton Jones (as it =
has for some while; it has to be attached to someone or some thing), and =
the existing notice that says "you can do what you like with this =
Report" will stay unchanged.  No "non-commercial only" caveats.

In my view this is extremely generous of CUP, and I am particularly =
grateful to Conrad Guettler for making it happen.  As a thank-you to =
CUP, perhaps you can all go out and buy a copy!

Simon
