Wasn't there a situation a few months back in which an administrator on
enwiki did not want his images copied to commons and so he tried deleting
all his images claiming that he'd retracted his GFDL image contributions?
I vaguely remember it, but I don't remember the details. What ended up
happening in the end?

suggesting that an opt-out is required, and I can't see anything that

"or later" clauses being invalid means we may well require some kind
of permission from contributors.
On en:wp, when someone tries to un-GFDL their content, it'll often be
removed (at least from the present version) 'cos we're nice. But not
if it'd be seriously problematic to remove, and *certainly* not
because we have to.
