Switch to MIT license?

I've noticed that some of the files claim they are MIT-licensed, e.g. hyperopt/ipy.py, while the whole project is 3-clause BSD.

Would the authors consider switching the project to a somewhat friendlier MIT license? (unless there's reasons we're not aware about that prohibit doing so)

Is valid to just change an MIT-licensed file to BSD-3, but not the other way around?

Not sure why MIT is considered to be that much "friendlier". I doubt it matters either way.

I always use Apache 2 for my projects.
