Licensing of "orphan works" sounds like a very good idea. It provides a mechanism for republishing books which would otherwise not be published. Like Ben, though, I really don't see the connection between orphan works and copyright terms. What appears to be being discussed here is the issue of performance copyright, which is currently 50 years in the UK, and is at odds with EU law, which states that it should be extended to 70 years.
