In the case of translated work, both the original author and the author of translation would have to agree. But i'm for CC, because the burden of using PDF is too high (mention contributors and including the whole text of the licence).
About organizing this, you may send emails kindly asking original authors to republish the text with the new licence inside. It will be their job to contact the contributors (anyway they may modify the text to includ contributor's work if there had been mistakes in the original). At least with the laws in my home country this is perfectly fine. And we will know the licence when we will read the beginning of the file (or you could add smth to the file name of all PDL files). > Jean has rasied a good point.
