That wording is strange. I don't think that "simultaneous" should be there.
I'll sort that out.

IMHO, semantic versioning is tied to the technical implementation. You can
update the project license whenever you're ready and include notification
of that as a feature of your next major/minor/service release.

I don't subscribe to platform-dev (heresy... I know), so please pass this
response to them on my behalf.

HTH,
