As long as all the copyright holders agree you can re-license at any
time you want. The code out there would of course still be GPL but you
could release a new 'copy' of the code under the LGPL. Dual-licensing
LGPL/GPL is possible, I know Mozilla does it, but I never seen the point
as LGPL has a clause allowing you to relicense the code to GPL for your
derivatives.
