Copyright only affects, well, copying. (Although I hear in Europe, they
have "author rights", which covers use as well.) If Redeeman is not
distributing his changes, copyright does not apply, and he does not need
a license to make such changes.
Even so, it's probably still nice to ask. Especially since Hans said
that the license change to GPL is based on a gentleman's agreement that
people respect his request that the credits will remain intact.
(I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice.)
