Also note the number of successful Wikipedia forks. The situation around licence changes is a big limitation of existing open licences. Presumably future licences will include some kind of meta-licence, where you both licence your contributions under the current licence, and explicitly allow some future mechanism to relicence them. Going back and asking contributors for permission is never, ever going to be practical.
