Switching licenses is possible. There is a publish-for-opposition process,
you make a reasonable effort to notify contributors and make public
notices, and set a date by which they must oppose. If they oppose, remove
their code and replace it.
But I'm no fan of you allowing people with proprietary software to use your
years of work in their products for nothing. Charge them money. Use it to
support the project, if you wish. And none of us would object if you kept
the money.
Thanks
