Tell us if you do so, please.

In fact, you can, but all the persons who have a copy received as GPL
would still be able to share and modify your software under the GPL
rules.

As a matter of fact, if you relicense your software as LGPL, Savannah
may host the latest GPL version along with your new version, just in
case someone is interested in that GPL version.

Please do not forget to add a COPYING file in libbubblemon.
