The idea of "relicensing" has been in the GFDL draft for a while now.
I don't know if this is how it's going to be done, but here's what's

"[8b. WIKI RELICENSING ¶ →

If the Work was previously published, with no Cover Texts, no
Invariant Sections, and no Acknowledgements or Dedications or
Endorsements section, in a system for massive public collaboration
under version 1.2 of this License, and if all the material in the Work
was either initially developed in that collaboration system or had
been imported into it before 1 June 2006, then you may relicense the
Work under the GNU Wiki License.]"
