I don't know of any offhand, but it does seem like a more promising
way of handling the issue than building new incompatible licenses to
accommodate the desire. (I do like limited-time copyright, but agree
with Mike's sentiments that the additional complexity of baking it
into the license is probably not worth it.)

It would be interesting for some organization that will credibly be
around for some time to maintain a site that registers and tracks such
commitments.
