In order to determine the ODbL status of an object, its entire history
is needed. The API does not provide a reasonably fast way to access the
history of several objects.
For this reason, the licensechange plugin relies on the Quick History
Service
http://wtfe.gryph.de/
which provides a quick access to already analysed data.
The suggested redaction plugin would need access to a similar service to
achieve a reasonable performance. However, I'm not sure whether someone
volunteers for the development of such a service+plugin (when the
license change should already be completed according to the preliminary
schedule).
Cheers,
