I already replied to him, basically:

Hi, Fassio. Relicensing is not possible, as KMahjongg has
contributions going back to 1997, by dozens of different developers,
all under the GPL. It is also part of the KDE project, which provides
most libraries under LGPL already, but prefer to use GPL for the
application code.
