Sure, but that is independent of the choice of license for the fork, no?

It seems some commenters conflate two orthogonal things: the license of the fork and the number of copyright holder of the fork.

Relicensing requires the consent of all copyright holders, whether the fork's license is proprietary or not.

The original comment claimed that relicensing a GPL licenses for was not possible at all, no matter the number of copyright holders.
Which clearly is wrong.
