Here are two possibly rubbish ideas:
I'm just a french law student, not an accomplished jurist yet, but could'nt you use the concept of "silence equals consent". When publishing the next license, just include a clause saying that as long as users do not explicitly refuse to comply, their silence is being considered as acceptance of the new terms and their data is distributed under these terms. Adding a deadline of one year would allow OSM to definitively "lock" the data under the new license to prevent a zombi coming back ten years from now to claim a refusal. The question this poses though, is wether or not the current legal terms allow OSM to undergo such a procedure on behalf of users and their accounts.
