Gibbon must have a license #263

Code without any license are very hard to sell to anyone (in many senses). This was brought up in Slack. Any thoughts?

Most of Hackage is licensed under BSD-3. Source: http://neilmitchell.blogspot.com/2018/08/licensing-my-haskell-packages.html This post also makes several good points in general.

I'm pretty ignorant about this sort of thing. Especially tricky is the question: do you need the consent of everyone who ever contributed to the project...

A data point regarding this; we've released artifacts for Gibbon papers under various permissive licenses, PLDI'19 used BSD3 and ICFP'21 used MIT. These artifacts also included the whole gibbon repository.

I'll vote to pick one of these.

Same here +1 to permissive licenses. We did BSD3 for hermit too IIRC.
