Is it worthwhile to poke a lawyer about this as a precaution?  (If so,
who?)  Or do we wait for a motivating event?

I can poke the lawyer that was originally involved.

For what it's worth, there is an existing push to clarify the
licensing terms for the DCO [1].  Involved parties include Luis
Rodriguez, Richard Fontana, Bradley Kuhn, Mike Dolan, and Karen
Copenhaver.  Hopefully they'll have something to say after the New
Orleans LinuxCon.  The DCO licensing is not quite the same as changing
the DCO text, but they're probably closely related ;).

Cheers,
Trevor
