Clean Now Available under LGPL License
Via LTU Discussion

They've finally done it -- provided the long-promised release of Clean 2.0 under an LGPL license.

I think this is important news because:

  1. Clean is a pragmatic implementation of a pure, lazy, functional language (very much like Haskell.)
  2. It's seen actual production/industrial use, and reflects the needs of working programmers (i.e., is not soley focused on investigation of language constructs and research.)
  3. It's another good example of a company Open Sourcing a key technology to aid in its adoption.

Hmmm. Perhaps a Debian package will be forthcoming soon?

As you asked, clean is now available as a unofficial debian package. It might become official in the future.
