Apache and Curl are not GPL or AGPL to start with.

Of course any such endeavor must have a patina of plausible deniability. That's evildoing 101 :)

Sure, but what if the person/team willing to rewrite wants to do so under GPL? Or what happens next when the next project to be rewritten is GPL? I think its fair to keep the original license, but if re-licensing is allowed it should be permissive.
