    right but unless you sign a contributor licensing agreement when you contribute then the copyright owner can’t relicense code you contributed.

    so if you contribute to a GPL codebase it’s pretty legally perilous to try to unilaterally relicense code that isn’t “yours”.

    this is pretty nebulous territory anyways, but I’d argue it’s pretty unethical to relicense to a more restrictive license essentially “taking” the GPL code from contributors
