It was my understanding that license changes, can be done by the copyright
holder, without consent of all contributors. Because they do not hold any
copyright to the code. IIRC this is how Grafana was able to relicense from
Apache to AGPL. They did not need to get consent from all contributors.

Of course, old versions are subject to the old license, but moving from
prometheus-community to prometheus would effectively be a fork.

In this case we could do it with permission from the original author as
stated in the LICENSE file.
