Ah, now I see I may have been unclear.  Above I said "Let people
remove their data if they don't agree to future licensing terms."
What I meant was "Let people decline relicensing of their data if they
don't agree to future licensing terms."  They wouldn't be allowed to
remove the data from the database they contributed to, licensed under
the license they contributed it under.
