The author can change the license the code is distributed under.

I'd like everyone who has been posting things like this to stop
for a moment. Stop being assholes. -HE DOES NOT HAVE A CHOICE-
You will not change the source status of apcupsd by bitching about it on
the list and citing the license.
If your employer tells you you can't continue distributing something,
you stop, assuming you want to keep your job and access to the source.
Period. This isn't something that a lot of collective whining can or will
change. So to everyone posting this bullshit, grow up.
And yes, this is off-topic for l-k. So although I won't demand that
it stop here, I will suggest that this thread have a rather short life.
