Thanks for the update, looks good.

In OSGeoLive we do this by asking all the commiters to send an e-mail to 
the devel mailing list stating that they agree to abide by the project's 
license policy, so this gets archived in the mailing list history.

See here:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#Subversion

example:

I guess we should do the same (and perhaps ask all committers to send a 
similar e-mail here)

No, it is not a requirement. We can keep as is.
