I should have written libre not free. That has a clear meaning (and it's what I use in the followup comment). Do you have a better suggestion than "open" for "no restrictions on use"?

Totally up to you! In the context of Haskell projects though, I really, really want to see Haskell businesses succeed as well as the open Haskell ecosystem.

Permissive (like BSD) and copyleft (like GPL) are the most common terms in use.

BSD and GPL are both free, libre and open.

There's nothing about the GPL (or other copyleft licenses) that makes them incompatible with business.
