A starting point may be that some sort of exception and official
approval could be required for code with a license that does not
permit the copyright grant to the IETF Trust required by the
-incoming document.

My starting point would be to tell the person attempting to contribute the code to go find its original author and have them grant the necessary license to the IETF, independently of whatever other license they have put it under, and repeat until done. I think making exceptions possible will produce a world of hurt.
