You are correct in your understanding that such an approach would not be legal, at least in many jurisdictions. Copyright does not transfer by right of silence in many instances. I for one, for whatever insignificant part I may have in the current documentation (Draw, Database - English and French), oppose changing the terms under which I initially contributed. I may choose to provide new material according to "the Apache Way" in the future, but the heavy handedness I have seen elsewhere on this list has provided me with no incentive to be a part of the project thus far.
