An extremely bad idea. This is the perfect way to alienate people even 
more and cause a counter-initative or split in the community.

 From the reactions I see, many people are annoyed that the initiative 
for a new licence has been conducted in secret by a small group of 
people, that the information has not been spread and not been translated 
and that they are being overrun and forced to agree by threat of 
deletion of their data. These are not my words but taken from posts in 
lists and forum.

The only way to get this rolling is to inform people and ask for their 
cooperation. It has had a very bad start, but looking for loopholes will 
feel to many people like you're stealing their data.
