Or go the SQLite way and charge a fee to get an explicit license for
companies that are not comfortable with Public Domain
http://sqlite.org/copyright.html
That's probably much stronger than the musl community would be comfortable

disclaim copyright, not just Rich but it's worth noting that public domain
ideology is not incompatible with corporate use.
