That seems a little harsh to an author under this kind of situation ...
1) Person A submits part to parts tracker, agrees to CA.
2) Part has small issue with it preventing it from being approved quickly
3) Ldraw SteerCo changes End User license agreement from 1 to 2. Even though
Person A hates license 2, they have no voting power to argue against it.
4) Person B fixes Person As part
5) Part is approved and enters official library distributed under End
User license 2. Person A is understandably upset.
I'd think that under your method, all people that have submitted
content under the terms of the CA should have a right to vote
on any change to the End User license. After all they could all
be affected by it's changes regardless of whether their work is
in the official library yet.
