I was joking and I don't think you need a price on there. But if you're serious, you can put out an asking price and everyone involved should just assume it's negotiable. Just use something like a couple of million USD as a starting point.

You're selling the copyright, right? That's ok - businesses pay for stuff like this. Although I wonder if instead you'd be better off if you created a corporation and instead offered to sell the company's IP + your commitment to support the work over ~1-2 years. This might be a more common scenario for M&A teams to work with. Especially if you are keen on supporting more target architectures/OSs. Someone like ARM or SiFive or FAANG would easily shell out that kind of money to get mold.
