So if a contribution changes the LICENSE file without having every contributor agreement, won't this be an invalid LICENSE change?

From what I heard about the discussion, it seems like the LICENSE file has been altered by Jorge without all the OMF's contributors agreeing upon.

It's invalid only if the license change is inconsistent with the original license. That's why, for example, converting a project from MIT to GPL is fine, because doing so doesn't violate the terms of the MIT license.
