I would need to look into this. I do not know this license much.

Why that? GPL allows commercial use too.

I prefer the CC BY SA.

A documentation CLA might be a good think too, because it simplifies legal 
step in case of issues and allows changing the license later on.

We would need to investigate if the news license is compatible with the old 
one. As most contributors are still active, I think we can risk on changing 
the license anyway, but it would be better if there es a clear legal 
conformation too.
