[Haskell-cafe] containers license issue

[Clark Gaebel]

I didn't even know that site existed. Let's add them to the thread!

softwarefreedom.org, what are your opinions on what was discussed in this
thread:

http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2012-December/105193.html

Is there anything that we, as a community, should know about? Should we
proceed differently?

Thanks,
  - Clark
