as I understand it.....
a fork would be required and
this can only happen if all code authors agree to change the licensing.

on sourceforge the project version is 2.4.1-gpl 2007-04-25 [singularsys]
2007-10-16 sourceforge

on the singularsys website it is current-3.2
with a 2007-07-01  3.0-nolonger-gpl notice

I think that this is a author  and procedural question
