I am suggesting nothing more complex than a requirement for the description to include a license. No license information - no upload. Forcing a single license for something that is individual and clearly divisble is way too coarse.
There should be no maintenance of the flightgear project's side. The issue with a catch-all license is that for someone to do what they want means they need to create an explict exclusion. Please ensure that you have worked through a few scenarios, the project effort to relicense after a mass-licensing is way higher than requesting all users determine what license they want - leaving the remainder to be relicensed if and only if they want to give it up all rights to the project.
