I am the sole author. Is MIT license more or less restrictive than LDP 
license? The LDP license mentions that it has cannot be more restrictive.

For changing the license, can I just add the new license and remove the 
old one? Do I have to mention that it was licensed under a different one 
earlier?

I am a bit new to this licensing stuff. Please point me to any relevant 
documents, if there are any.
