I don't really understand what this is intended to clarify. Are you asking contributors to specifically relicense their code as GPL as a criterion for inclusion? That does make for headaches with alternatively licensed code under lighter licenses with many contributors.
Or are you merely requiring that the license of included code be compatible with the GPL (as the BSD, apache, and many other OSI approved licenses are.)
