They like giving each other work... We have other components of sage that have changed their license via a similar mechanism in the past. E.g. NetworkX used to be GPLv2, and switch to BSD via such an announcement. Zeromq has been trying to switch away from LGPL for a long time, but hasn't managed, due to probably not just making such an announcement.... (no idea).
