If you are the sole copyright holder of _all_ of the code, you can
release an update that has a different license.  If anybody else owns
the copyright of _any_ of that code, their consent has to be obtained,
prior to converting it to a different license.  (This is why the Linux
Kernel will remain under the GNU GPL 2.0 for the foreseeable future.

Sun moved software to the GPL.  They do not move software from the GPL.
