Clicking that link 
(http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/HaskellWiki:Copyrights) leads to a page 
that says:
  "Contributions since 2006-01-14 05:15 UTC are available under the 
above license."

But you are right that 'recent' is not really the right term, are there 
other suggestions? Of course the best solution would be to fix the 
license on all things added before 2006-01-14...
