LICENSE: simplifybustle-0.4.0
I'm okay with the binaries being GPLv3. Let's just say that they are.

-dbus-core, the Haskell reimplementation of the D-Bus wire protocol used

-a GPL3 library is covered by the terms of the GPL3. The dbus-core
-maintainer, John Millikin, disagrees with this interpretation: he seems to hold
-that using a GPL3 library does not necessarily require your application to

-In summary:
-
-• The Bustle binary probably falls under the terms of the GPL3;
-• The Haskell source code is licensed under the LGPL v2.1 or later.
+dbus-core, a Haskell reimplementation of the D-Bus wire protocol which Bustle
