That may not be an easy question to answer, let alone actually turn into a list of contact details for permission.
It is always a good idea to keep records with contact information in case relicensing is desired. This is normal practice in many professional opensource projects.
Out of interest, why is it that the GPL doesn't fit your needs?
I don't have any philosophical objection to GPL; I use GNU/Linux and I am a participant in some FSF mailing lists. I do support GPL and GFDL.
However, sometimes BSD is more flexible and allows for more easier combination of code with different licensing terms.
I want to incorporate some of my code in MediaWiki but I cannot release parts of my code under the GPL for several reasons. So, a BSD-licensed MediaWiki would be very helpful.
