The latter, unless you intend to make money selling commercial licenses
(this would be a reason to have the publicly released musl copylefted).

Cut-down BSD, to the point of being copyright-only with no restrictions
at all - but using the same wording as the BSD licenses do for the
remaining portion of it. That is:
<Copyright statements here>
Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without
modification, are permitted.
<Warranty disclaimer here>
To me, this looks more obviously compatible with other Open Source
licenses than the usual N-clause BSD licenses are. (Disclaimer: I am
not a lawyer.)
