But canonical does appear to be relicensing the code for proprietary software; refer to their web site:

[...] If you want to embed Bazaar into your products under a different license, please contact us.

How could that ever be appropriate for a GNU project is beyond me.

Um, the license grantback you get when you fill in a copyright assignment 
form has always (as far as I know) allowed you to do that (with the stuff 
you originally had copyright on before signing it over).
