Dear Ken and Ricardo,

One option is to ask new contributions to be dual licensed (current and 
desired). So if CMU changes their policy, it won't be necessary to ask 
permission to all the recent contributors.

This is what we did to change the Bootstrap license (needing to get 
approval from hundreds of contributors)
https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/2054

Best regards,

Marc
