Not for switching to the GPLv3 license, but for removing the text of the previous MIT-style one when doing so. It's literally the one thing you can't do with the license.

It not "removed" — it fully "replaced" without permission.

Wow.
That basically kills the whole thing. Who knows what else was messed with without anyone noticing?
