As mentioned in the other email: yes, please revert, see also below for 
a more technical reason. If some contributors can't be reached, the 
files can't be relicensed (does not matter if they are not listed if the 
git history says that they contributed - but IANAL, I don't know what is 
the boundary, for example if some section is cut out, can the remaining 
part still be considered derived? Not sure).

It was intended for new documents, and old documents need the 
agreement.
Also, kmymoney requires still Frameworks 5.2, while the entity was 
introduced much later. Even if you can relicense, you can't use the 
entity from KDocTools if you require such a lower Frameworks, but you 
can add a local entity or just write the content of the entity directly.
