From the experience of the OpenSSH project, and the ability to utilise an
old 'BSD' licensed version of ssh, this appears to be the case.

I do not see any problem with the copyright owner re-issuing older versions
with a new license, but you *CANNOT* change the license on copies already
distributed.
