I don't think you need _all_ copyright holders in order to enforce a 
copyright, no? It's my understanding that every single copyright holder can 
start a legal action if (s)he is of the opinion that his copyrights are 
violated. So even if only a few people would assign the right to enforce 
their copyright to KDE eV, KDE eV would already be in a reasonably strong 
position to take action.

Cheers,
