it looks like ghc itself is under a BSD3 style license, if thats any help. So per se, I think you can assume youre dealing with a BSD3 through and through system.
see here for the ghc info http://www.haskell.org/ghc/license (this is something i've been sorting out for my own projects too, and to the best of my knowledge its all bsd3) admission: I'm actually likely to be providing a repackaging of ghc & the haskell platform with some additional tools for data analysis / machine learning to some enterprise customers come the fall, so thats why I have any thoughts on this matter.
