Once you go copy left, you need everyone's consent to change the license.

The MIT license is the creator owns the copyright, and any changes you contribute are licesned under the sam MIT as the project.

So to go from MIt -> anything only requires the consent of the project onwer.

Any copy left (like AGPL) license -> anything requires every contributors consent.

It is possible, but practically infeasible at scale.

I'd have to read more about AGPL, but IIRC GPLv2 says you must license any derived code as the same license.

IANAL, just someone whose looked into this before.
