Sure they are. I write two programs, A and B, and give them to a friend. A
is licensed under the GPL, B is under a special "For my friend" license.
He runs them.
I then license B to him under the GPL. I do this by just sending him an
email, I don't bother recompiling the program or anything.
He runs them again.
Either he satisfied any "prominent notification" and "modification time"
clauses both times or neither.
Cheers,
