I'd expect this to be the case unless the license I'm The only condition under which a relicensing could happen is if you assigned your copyright ownership to the person wishing to relicense, or you agree to the alternative license. For example, when you contribute code to the GNU project proper, they make you sign your copyright over to them. This lets them ensure that they have clear title and can take appropriate legal action as necessary without having to contact all contributors. In short, only the copyright owner can alter the license term, and then only for new license grants. He cannot retroactively change the license terms of existing licencees. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
