License is specified in project file (BSD3): https://github.com/yaitskov/git-phoenix/blob/9a88c55fd45f28d4e1865df3ac746b409474eaf7/git-phoenix.cabal#L135 The tool is also published on hackage under BSD3: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/git-phoenix-0.0.2 I don't see much difference between open source licenses and picked BSD3 just because it is popular here.
