It is not easy to re-license of a file. You need to get an agreement 
from all the contributors of the file.  Lars did try in the past, but 
this didn't receive any support from the community.

I am not aware of any plan for this. But that would definitely avoid 
licensing issues because of the wording. This would need to be discussed 
within the community before going forward.
Feel free to kick a thread for it with the committers in CC.
