You can't un-GPL code without getting all the contributors to agree and
even then code before the change in licence has to be available under the
GPL.

You can do what you like with most BSD and MIT code as long as you
attribute and even that is less likely with the newer licences.

Which is 'freeer'  discuss ;)
