What's the license of RobinHood's core algorithm? This seems useful.

But this being sponsored research (Microsoft) brings me to thinking of the old ARC cache licensing problem.

No, we do not expect any licensing problems. There's an open issue on github: https://github.com/dasebe/robinhoodcache/issues/1

The issue mentions 3 Clause BSD, which will probably be implemented today.
