I don't think it's a big barrier.  It's especially important to make
license explicit for one-off commits that come from people we may
never hear from or be able to contact again.  I agree it's a slight
burden but I think it's a necessary one.

I think having a cutoff date (which is already in the proposal) is
the best way to deal with this.  Commits after we decide to do this
must have s-o-b.  Commits from before are the same as they ever
were.
