Presumably this depends on how many don't respond (or respond in the negative) and the extent of their contributions. If the contributions are small and most people are for, it may be possible to rewrite some code. They may also find that a lot of the contributors' code has since been deleted, and therefore that they do not need their permission. It will be interesting to see, to be sure.
