What about something like this:
ELVES
<Insert Worldname>'s elves have all of the traits of elves in the 4E Player's Handbook except for the following:
Blah Blah: You have blah blah. This replaces the standard elf's blah.
?
If not, then does the GSL expect new campaign settings to essentially drop the core D&D cosmology and background into every world whole cloth? Not even the various official D&D campaign settings do that.

IANAL, but that sounds like redefining them to me. You'd have to call them Silvanesti as the racial name, much like eladrin are eladrin and not high elves.
So... Dragonlance characters races would be:
Silvanesti
Qualanesti
Hill Dwarf (and this is dicey, since dwarf is a restricted term)
Human (humans can't be any different than the core, otherwise you have to rename them along cultural lines)
Kender (the easiest, since they're unique to DL)
Basically you can't change anything found in the core books in any way, shape, or form. You can invent new stuff, but not alter it.
Hyrum.
