This gives me a 403 btw.

I think generally people use iconv to fix encodings of files:

ghc-MissingH.spec-iconv+license.patch

Add license annotation comments and make overall runtime be GPLv2+

Strictly speaking src/System/Time/ParseDate.hs looks like
GPLv2 only to me, but newer versions of that code on
hackage (parsedate) are BSD.  I asked jgoerzen by email
if you would consider updating to the BSD version to
simplify the licensing.

This library is really a hotpot of many small libraries
some of which may even exist in hackage today but it is
fairly popular library.

ping? :)

ping-a-ling?
