I love constructive criticism :) It's the easiest way for me to get
answers to the always-relevant question of "How can I do it better?"

which you have answered adequately. Are they LGPL?
libpstat and fskit are both LGPLv3 (my motivation for v3 over v2 is the
explicit patent license). Again, I'm willing to dual-license them with
something more BSD-friendly. I was leaning towards ISC earlier since
that's what OpenBSD uses, but I don't have a strong opinion. Is there
something the MIT license offers that you particularly like?

Thanks,
Jude
