There are a lot of open questions that have to be solved BEFORE
any official licence change or "private" cleaning up the data ...

- version history is incomplete: ways, which were splitted or joined,
  have lost parts of version history including mappers, that don't acceppted

- what's about deleted objects?
  If a mapper, who don't accepted, for example has deleted a POI
  and mapped a building with similar tags, the building has to be
  deleted, but also the POI has to be restored?!
  So changesets may have to be verified for such things ...

- Might be that it is not necessary to delete trivial edits
  (Might be "trivial" depends on the country of the edit ...)

- ... and surely a mapper may decide to accept lately ...

- ...

So a "private clean-up" befor this questions are solved might
- delete objects where it is not necessary (trivial, change decision)
- not delete objects where it is necessary (splitted/joined ways
  which where partially mapped of non accepting mappers)
- violate copyright, if he "copy" the old object
- ...
