Depends.
If you have a permissively licensed project, you can change the source to GPL by just using a poison pill approach.
This is what Forgejo did as an example.
https://forgejo.org/2024-08-gpl/
This works as the MIT license terms are met.
The other way would not work.

@Foxboron@chaos.social @jzb@hachyderm.io @joshbressers@infosec.exchange You're right, I should've worded that differently. They can change the license, if the current license allows it. Still, everyone keeps their individual copyright.
