For example, as your project grows it adds dependencies or users, or your company changes strategies, any of which could require or want a different license. Also, if you neglected to license your project from the start, adding a license is effectively the same as changing licenses.

**It's complicated.** Determining license compatibility and compliance and who holds copyright can get complicated and confusing very quickly. Switching to a new but compatible license for new releases and contributions is different from relicensing all existing contributions. Involve your legal team at the first hint of any desire to change licenses. Even if you have or can obtain permission from your project's copyright holders for a license change, consider the impact of the change on your project's other users and contributors. Think of a license change as a "governance event" for your project that will more likely go smoothly with clear communications and consultation with your project's stakeholders. All the more reason to choose and use an appropriate license for your project from its inception!
