My question here is, why are you using a software license if you don't think most of it's provisions apply. Shouldn't you use Creative Commons license, or the GNU FDL instead?
This is an interesting question, but the Italian dictionary started with the same license as OpenOffice.org and has had a complex story, with license changes (not actual relicensing, but "license upgrades" as allowed by the [L]GPL) and several copyright holders. Since we know that we have zero chances to get all copyright holders to agree to relicensing, we will have to explore other possible alternatives.
Thanks Dave, Dennis and Rob for your suggestions: I will have to coordinate with Gianluca to address Apache Legal in a proper way, but I expect that we will raise the issue there in a reasonable timeframe.
