Relicensing is complicated when there are a lot of authors
(copyright holders), because it is necessary to get the
approval of everyone of them, with complications for
unreachable people and dead people; in the past discussions
on the GPLv2-GPLv3 relicensing for the kernel, there was
an additional opinion that this requirement is not as
stringent as it appears.

In any case, relicensing a small project with a few
authors (or just one) is as easy as editing a couple of
files (source, webpage, ...).
