Theoretically, you need the permission of the copyright holder before changing 
the license. In practice you're right - it only matters if someone speaks up.

But in this case, the point is that the copyright holder is the members of the 
docteam, and since those members decided by consensus in a meeting to change 
the license, it's no problem.
