Cursory look at recent checkins seems to indicate that he wrote all the code.
As the copyright holder of the code he could re-license it the same way even if it was GPL.
- tspiteri 7y agoIf he wanted to switch to GPL, he wouldn't have to relicence all the code; just the code that is by him alone. The contributions by others are in a permissive license that is compatible with the GPL, so they could remain in their current state; but the whole project would contain GPL code so anyone redistributing the project would have to do abide with the terms of the GPL.

- nordsieck 7y ago> Cursory look at recent checkins seems to indicate that he wrote all the code. 1. There are github commits not by him in the project. 2. There are lots of copyright assertions scattered through the project. The first one I ran into was: > Copyright (c) 2006-2008 Amit Singh/Google Inc. but I'm sure there are way more than that.
