What Parsec used is called “FreeBSD” or “BSD 2 clause”. Addition of the
third clause may require contacting all the authors. To hell with it,
let it be “FreeBSD” (which is anyway better than “BSD-like”), I'm a
hacker, not a lawyer (tm).
This commit clarifies license of the software replacing “BSD3” with more
conventional “BSD 3 clause”.
Another change is addition of the third clause originally missing in
license of Parsec (which is licensed under BSD 2 clause license). The
addition of the third clause in form:
* Neither the names of the copyright holders nor the names of
contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from
this software without specific prior written permission.
does not violate original BSD 2 clause license effectively making it BSD
3 clause license (which I find preferable).
This code benchmarks the "string" primitive and various non-primitive combinators.
The code coverage of these benchmarks is not 100%: new benchmarks should be added
as relevant performance questions are discovered.
