I'm a netatalk developer. Netatalk is currently BSD-licensed code. There is a thread on the developers list to change netatalk from BSD to GPL. Is this legal? Can someone arbitrarily change the license of a project if they're not the author? I don't think so. Seems to me Microsoft would have taken Linux, said it's now BSD licensed, and used it in Windows XP ( ;-) ). Thanks for some clarification.
