Hi,
I had contacted upstream regarding PublicDomain license for Haskell package MonadCatchIO-mtl [1] as mentioned at:
http://www.mail-archive.com/legal@lists.fedoraproject.org/msg00380.html
The response is as follows:
=== REPLY ===
Hi
If I recall correctly, this package was built from gathering code snippets that were posted by others on public mailing lists. Hence, I consider it to be in the public domain and don't want to claim any form of copyright on it (not even the claiming-and-releasing that, if I understand correctly, the CC-0 license does).
If I understand correctly, if I don't claim to be the copyright holder, I cannot provide you with a useful statement. Of course, I'm not a lawyer and I don't have much experience with licensing issues, so I'm open to more knowledgable advice.
Thanks Daniel
=== END ===
Please let me know as to how we can proceed further?
Appreciate any inputs,
Thanks!

I'm not sure that there is an easy way to proceed further. You'd need to identify the copyright holders of all of the snippets used in the MonadCatchIO-mtl code and confirm the licensing with each of them.
