I think this is why projects such as Asterisk (I believe?) requires contributions be assigned copyright to the project, so they don't need to check with everyone who's ever touched the codebase if they need to relicense it. They also use this for dual-licensing the code to commercial users who do not want to deal with the GPL.
(I'm not saying Asterisk does it better, or worse. Just mentioning what they do to deal with this problem.)
Digium (Asterisk) requires the (poorly named) disclaimer to be signed so that they can commercially license the code. Nothing more nothing less.. -- Peter Nixon http://www.peternixon.net/ PGP Key: http://www.peternixon.net/public.asc
