We need to distinguish between "changing the license" and "not releasing the source code along with the product".
The latter would be perfectly fine with the BSDL, but a license change can only be made by the copyright holder.
So basically you are not changing the license for existing code, but any new code is subject to the new license.
However, changing (bug fixing) existing code to put it under a new license still needs to be proven to be legal and I doubt.
