Copyright holders are always allowed to publish their work under any

Well, except when you adopt a package. Then there are two copyright
holders and things get ugly.
I think this discussion is pointless anyway: PKGBUILDs are build
recipes,
not code. They usually do not contain enough information to be
license-able.
So even if someone stuck a copy of the GPL at the top of a PKGBUILD I
would
simply ignore it, because he had no right to put a license on
"./configure;
make; make install" or something similar in the first place.
