Wikipedia went from GFDL to CC-BY-SA. Mozilla changed from MPL-only to 
MPL/GPL/LGPL. Zope changed from a custom license to GPL. Osmosis went 
from GPL to PD - admittedly not a large scale project ;).

But unless I am mistaken, Grant has never even said that "large-scale 
open source projects" (your choice of words) have changed their license, 
although it would have been perfectly correct to say that. He only said 
that OSM was not the only open source project to go through difficult 
decisions - and it will only take you seconds of googling to prove that 
right.

Bye
Frederik
