As already mentioned, you can ask the author nicely for a different
license - BSD for instance. Or you can fix the dynamic linking issues
in GHC, as Duncan points out. But you can also use it for *open
source* software (which is non-proprietary, but may still be
commercial).
I think LGPL works nicely for open source software - unlike the GPL,
which would force the entire program to be released under that
license, there should be no problem shipping a BSD- or MPL-licensed
program using an LGPL library, as long as source is available.
