Comment (by nacin):

 A moratorium is in place until the core team reviews and updates the
 guidelines. Plugins that violate the current guideline but are compatible
 with GPLv3 will not be de-listed. As I said earlier, you all made your
 (very valid) points, so there's no reason to suggest we're about to, say,
 purge 500 plugins from the repo or something along those lines.

 > I want to suggest that indication of license in header (or in other
 human and code accessible way) is considered to be enforced.

 I agree.

 > Will my slug be reserved until I am able to change my licensing?

 Yes. (Slugs are never reused.)

 > Is there a probation period (even just a day) where I have the
 opportunity to change my license before any action (delisting, removal,
 etc.) is taken (with explanation)? etc.

 Yes. The author is given a chance to respond to the notification.

 > and an appeal process (for re-listing/re-instating) that is quick and
 painless.

 Yes. Replying to a notification is enough to be off the hook.
