Having 2563 different passwords leads to post-its next to the monitor. SSO is much better.
Student Arrested For Classroom Texting 1246
A 14-year-old Wisconsin girl was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct after she refused to stop texting during a high school math class. The girl denied having a phone when confronted by a school safety officer, but a female cop found it after frisking her. The Samsung Cricket was recovered "from the buttocks area" of the teenager, according to the police report. The girl was banned from school property for a week, and is scheduled for an April 20 court appearance for a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge. I applaud the adults involved for their discretion and temperance in this heinous case of texting without permission.

You can always relicence as long as the new licence is compatible with the old one.
No licence is GPL-compatible and will ever be so if you want to change the licence of a GPL code, you have to override the licence, wich can only be done by the copyright's holder
If the code is for example under unrevised BSD (with the publicity clause), you can't change the licence to GPL without the copyright's holder's consent.
If it's under MIT, new BSD, old X11 (original X11 NOT the new XF86), etc. then the code may be directy published under GPL since those licence do not add extra restrictions and do not forbid anyway the use of GPL.
XF86 was under X11-like licences so it was possible to add a restriction. If your code is under GPL only the copyright holder can change the licence
