I ran a command that is supposed to list all licensing info of direct
and indirect deps of a cabal package, and all of them seem to be under
freebsd, modifiedbsd, isc and expat licenses:

> $ cabal-plan license-report exe:fsd | cut -d\| -f 4 | grep -o '`.*`' | sort | 
> uniq -c

Not sure about integer-gmp-1.1, as the latest version on hackage is
1.0.3.0, seemingly licensed under modifiedbsd[1], but I cannot find any
link to 1.1 - will take a look later.
