Hayoo is not a service that anyone here can do anything about. Try email to
hayoo at fh-wedel.de. That said, it does rely on hackage for source... but
would still likely need modification there as well as on Hackage,

I've never had trouble copy-pasting... if you're just saving the page, that
might be a problem though. (I just have never trusted that.)
Note that trusting the source you get from those is dubious anyway, as what
source you get can depend on what platform it was generated on!

It might be nice (but likely also difficult) to provide an additional link
to the upstream repo though.
