Yes, i was also thinking that this would be a possibility, but how would i go about sublicensing my changes as GPL in that case? >From what i understand i first need to add apache license header to all source files (the original code i downloaded didn't specify license and there was no license header anywhere), and then add GPL license header in addition to it? And the actual LICENSE files of course It sounds like a hassle to use sublicensing.
