I agree at the point, that everyone should use that license he like.
No, I think, that would not work this way, you have to ask every contributor, no matter how big the influence was. And everyone must agree unanimously. It's almost an impossible task.
You don't need it to be unanimous, but if it's not unanimous, you have to rewrite the parts from people who refused or can't be contacted. If their sum contributions aren't too big, it can be feasible but a lot of work. If too many or if key contributors refuse, the work can scale exponentially.
I agree regarding consesus. Unlikely, but: heaving major contributions greenlighted and only replace parts of the code are fat note feasible.
No communication happened to my understanding at any point with any contributor.
