[Foundation-l] Projects without >FDL1.2 migration clause

Its enough that someone believe the project used "GFDL 1.2 only" at the
moment s/he contributed. Changing the license notice later isn't
addressing the problem, it escalates the problem as it opens up for a
discussion wetter the terms has changed substantially. Ie., has it given
the user the possibility to opt out of the contract.

Personally I think it would be very wise to take one step back and look
into the problems created _very_ carefully, and ask each project if they
know about any problems that might arise.
