We'd have to revisit it in cases where works in the website which we
would like to combine are under different, conflicting free licenses.

It wouldn't be necessary to change away, but it could become necessary
to add additional licenses. The more liberal the licences granted, the
less of a problem this would be.

The works are often combined, and many parts of the website have
multiple different contributors. We have to be able to distribute the
resulting works, so whatever licensing scheme we come up with has to
be compatible.
