Hmm, here's a quick suggestion. The wiki currently says:
"Content is available under GNU Free Documentation License 1.2."
We change this to:
"All Haskell source code on this page is released into the public
domain. All other content is available under GNU Free Documentation
License 1.2." "Haskell source code" could also be a link to an exact
definition of what is and what is not to be regarded as Haskell source
code, but I think that seems a bit over the top.

It might even be reasonable to release everything into the public
domain. If nothing else, it means we can change the license later if it
ends up being abused (which I personally believe is a rather low risk
scenario).

Regards,
Anders
