Well, I've done it, and it sure was tedious!

Steps:

  git log --full-diff -p hostapd hs20 patches src wpa_supplicant | \
    egrep '(^diff|Copyright)' | \
    grep -B1 Copyright | \
    ./git-log-full-diff-parse-copyright

The Perl script (attached) took a few hours to write - there's a brick
of about 60 lines to munge file moves.  Then about another hour to
inspect all that output, plus poking at each file to make sure that the
license change actually occured.
