For this sort of thing, it would seem helpful to release it under "any license viewed as free by the FSF" or similar. Is that sort of statement likely to cause problems? Or at least license it MIT/BSD/whatever. For such a small piece, it would be nice if projects can just import it without having to move from "all code is BSD" to "all code is BSD except bithacks.h which is MIT, but we also comply with that license".

MIT license is compatible with BSD and GPL licenses, so I don't see a big issue there. But I could put it in public domain, so that there were no license issues at all.
