Thanks Ian.

On top of this, Haskell packages in the Hackage repository are required to be
open source, and these requirements point at the syntax of .cabal files, which
points at OSI's reference template.

https://opensource.org/licenses/bsd-3-clause

from http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Cabal-1.22.8.0/docs/Distribution-License.html

from http://hackage.haskell.org/upload

So the state of pqueue is very clear.

Of course, a pull request to brush up the LICENCE file might be appreciated by
the author(s) anyway.

Have a nice day,
