What is Futhark's license and the license of it's generated code?
There is no license file in the repository.

As it says in the futhark.nimble file the license for Futhark is MIT. The license of the wrappers are likely up to the library they are generated from. But as they are simply header file wrappers I'd assume that you'd be allowed to use them.

Not to belabor the point too much, but generally MIT-licensed works (as well as BSD, ISC, zlib... ) should have an explicit license file including the copyright statement.

Per the license itself:

Copyright <YEAR> <COPYRIGHT HOLDER>

and

The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

But we can't really follow that if there's no notice to use.
Can an explicit file be created? (I am asking this as a packager.)

Fair enough, I've added the MIT license file as well
