No. The logic to contact the author of non-free software to change the license is perfectly fine. It was done several times successfully and you will find example e-mails as CC to this list in the archive (in March this year are several). Saying this I would like to recommend explicitely to CC the mailing list if you contact the author. I was just asking because your intend was not clear from the content of the task file.
