MIT rather than a dual with BSD-3. Dual licensing solves a compatibility problem this does not have, since both are permissive and compatible with everything, so the choice would cost a downstream reader a decision and buy them nothing. The debt to zstd is real and a licence is the wrong instrument for it. No code came from libzstd; the format came from RFC 8878 and every answer is checked against libzstd through pyzstd. That belongs in prose where people read it. Also drops the line calling this a feasibility spike. It has 103 tests, an audit against the RFC, and five defects found and closed.
