Actually, I should clarify: Adding the notice to the 'front page' is easy, requiring no source code changes, so can be done immediately. It is the other changes that are more involved and that I would like some time to complete.

Should I just write up my own notice or would you like to provide specific text?
Hmm, I guess we should discuss this at tomorrow's board meeting and let you know. Suggestions from the wider community are welcome of course.
I'll start the ball rolling with "Hey You! Read this NOW. Any code submitted to this Mantis system as a fix or suggested fix for the Squeak core system must be offered under the terms of the MIT license <-link. Code entered here in the Description, Additional Information or Notes, or uploaded as a file, is assumed to be so licensed"
If the Board would like me to, I could attend. But I think it is probably sufficient if the everyone on the Board has an opportunity to give any opinions on the issue, as already discussed via email, and then continue to delegate to you. I suspect that between the two of us (you can bring the 'crazy' and I will bring the 'boring') we can hash it out.
I'm not sure of the desired schedule on this but I would like to request the opportunity to upgrade both PHP and Mantis on the server before doing this. One of the problems with doing something like this is having to maintain it as we upgrade Mantis. For that reason I would prefer to do the upgrade prior to the changes. And for that matter I have at least a change or two I will already have to port.
Given that I want to also go ahead and upgrade PHP as well I would like some time to do some testing and would request about a two week schedule on completing the upgrades and adding the first version of license notification support.
