I wouldn't suggest changing your documentation license just to satisfy our 2-3 requests per year (unless you really want to). If you can just agree as a PMC to allow our Journal team to re-license content as needed then we will be fine. We just want to be able to redistribute the announcements you contribute to the Journal under Creative Commons, as described here: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Journal_License_and_Guidelines
