Essentially my goal is to waive all intellectual property rights to most of my Haskell projects, to the extent that, were I to unintentionally sign away my intellectual property, my open-source contributions would be safe - what's the easiest way to do this? "Intellectual property" is not really a thing[0]. What it sounds like you want to do is ensure that your code stays free software. For this you need a licence that prevents people from using it for proprietary development. Here I recommend the GNU GPL[1]. But see [2] for a short introduction to "what licence should I be using".
