Even if the license change applied only to material started after the present, it would make future collaboration possible

Laura,
Thanks for your work on the proposal. I hadn't looked at fanhistory in any detail before, and enjoyed discovering it's lifecycle through your blog.

I may not have time to respond to your comments in detail, but I think it is important to say that I appreciate the way that you are approaching this.
Critical analysis of the potential "import" of this project is much easier if the project has a well defined mission, and the project leaders are only interested in the migration if it is a good fit within the WMF mission.
I agree with John here. Your approach and proposal are greatly appreciated. Educational projects aimed at educating others, providing material for future research, or gathering useful knowledge are certainly ones we should give consideration to adopting. The copyright issues is a sticking point, as geni notes -- I strongly recommend that you look into changing your license, regardless of the result of this proposal, so that you can better work with other projects in the future.
