> it's somewhat interesting that we don't consider the source code history in our OSS licenses

I think it would be too restrictive. It might prevent you from working differently for no clear benefits. However, keeping the history is an easy way to track who contributed what so you probably should keep the history of projects with more than one contributors or you lose precise attribution in practice (apart for the other obvious reasons to keep the history).
