Hi,
I want to add http://hackage.haskell.org/package/random (ghc-random) to Fedora.
The attached LICENSE file says that parts of the code are BSD, and some are taken from the Haskell 98 Language Report, with the following license:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Code derived from the document "Report on the Programming Language Haskell 98", is distributed under the following license:
Copyright (c) 2002 Simon Peyton Jones
The authors intend this Report to belong to the entire Haskell community, and so we grant permission to copy and distribute it for any purpose, provided that it is reproduced in its entirety, including this Notice. Modified versions of this Report may also be copied and distributed for any purpose, provided that the modified version is clearly presented as such, and that it does not claim to be a definition of the Haskell 98 Language. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can this license be added to the list of Fedora approved licenses?

Sure, it is added to the Good list as a Free and GPL-compatible license.
Use:
License: Haskell98

Sure, it is added to the Good list as a Free and GPL-compatible license. Use License: Haskell98
Thanks!
So presumbly the combined license would be "BSD and Haskell98" as usual.
It turns out there are a couple of variations to this license in other ghc libraries (attached) in particular covering code from the Haskell Report FFI Addendum and the Haskell 2010 Report.
I think the texts are basically equivalent to the Haskell98 license. Can they all be covered by the same license tag? If so perhaps it is better to rename the license tag to the "HaskellReport" license?
Thanks, Jens

Yeah, sounds sensible. Please send me copies of the other variants so I can document them.
