I intend to release under BSD3, mainly to match GHC since one ideal scenario would involve being packaged with/integrated into GHC. But my brief recent research suggests that the Apache license might be more conducive to eventual widespread adoption. If you'd be willing to advise or even just refer me to other write ups, please feel free to email me directly or to start a separate thread on a more appropriate distribution list (CC'ing me, please).
