I think that it is interesting that this is enabled by a CLA. If the project would have used a Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) this relicensing would not have been possible. When Debian started to use GitLab they asked us to replace our CLA for the open source code to a DCO. They saw the risk of relicensing and addressed it.
