I used a BSD license, but didn't put too much thought into it.

[x] Evaluate which license to use
[ ] Update documentation w/ PyEDA license info
[ ] Update documentation w/ license of PicoSAT and Espresso
[ ] Update source files with headers

Read thru choose a license. I don't know whether I'm worried about patents, but patent trolling is clearly one of the most ridiculous aspects of the tech industry today. Both Google and Apache Software Foundation seem to have the right philosophy about this.

Leaning towards using Apache 2.0.

Abandoning. BSD is fine for now.
