If I remeber this stuff correctly I believe we will also need need to
reach out to each and every one who has contributed previously and ask
if they accept the new license, otherwise their parts will need to be
purged and rewritten.. This is because I believe that you don't waiver
your copyright just because nothing else has been stated.
