I think they can be auto-detected (i.e. where in one changeset, one way 
suddenly loses some nodes and another springs up that uses exactly those).

Such auto-detection could be limited to areas where we have recorded 
contributions that are not being relicensed; in all other areas we would 
not have to bother.

Any such mechanism, in my eyes, need not be 100% perfect; it is 
sufficient to make a honest attempt at doing the right thing, and if a 
few things slip through, then fix them in case of complaints.

But I am not in the LWG and they might, unbeknownst to be, already have 
something that works.
