The copyright holder can always choose to grant an alternative license
to the committee, free from any such restriction.  I'd say it is a
matter for the committee and proposer to reach the appropriate
arrangement.

Of course, this hits problems if someone proposes a library in boost
that they are not the copyright holder for (say boost::array...)
