We might reach consensus that it's OK to release change control over
the Tao (although I'm not sure I agree with that - what's so hard about
keeping it under an RFC-like license?).

Nothing is "hard" about it. The question is whether granting a different 
license will help the goals of the Tao more than the current license. Many 
people (including me, the current editor) think that a lighter-weight 
license would get the Tao read by more people.

Can you elaborate on why the license makes a difference?

We have been told it would make it easier for people to make and distribute 
translations.
