You're right; they seem to have changed it again to add that phrase since last I (properly) read it.
I don't believe it's been changed recently. While you may license the specific source code you've written under a GPL-compatible license, the total program will remain licensed under the GPL. So someone could conceivably take your source code and copy it into a BSD3 project; but the issue when Hackage is involved seems to be what can be done with the program that Cabal has now compiled and built for you, and that's certainly subject to the GPL. That's not explicitly stated in that answer, but it is made clear through the rest of the FAQ. -- Chris Smith
