Nobody said anything about it.
You asked something about a very complicated topic, and we are just trying to understand what you want, and give you an answer.
We are not lawyers to understand 100% the legal terms and we are not judges to condemnate you or your work.
You have just asked if you can change the license, and with what I have understood after reading the licenses and the few information about the modifications of your derivative work... I would say: No, you can't change the license from CPOL to MIT just because you want.
If you get the permission of the original author, that's another topic.
If you don't like it... wait for more answers or hire a lawyer specialized in copyright and licensing to get out of doubts.

According to the CPOL license too:
3.Licence Grant: c. You may otherwise modify Your copy of this Work (excluding the Articles) in any way to create a Derivative Work, provided that You insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how, when and where You changed that file.
But it says nothing on changing the licensing model.

Does this mean that there are no restrictions on the new license? That my only obligation is to " insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how, when and where You changed that file"?

I would understand it just in the opposite way, like above in the apache.
You can only change the add a new license TO YOUR part.

No. The license applies to the authors work. You distribute the author's work, the license stays with that work. It's licensed. New work doesn't take on the CPOL (unlike viral licenses like GPL)

Thanks for your response.
Does this mean that only I have to comply with the terms of the license? Or are any third parties that use my "Derivative Work" also bound to the Author's CPOL?

The code from the original author is under the CPOL. Your additions are under whatever license you choose.
The point here is you can't take a license away from a work.

We had some issues with some background services as a result of a server upgrade on the weekend. Things look OK now.

Over the weekend I added a new article. Both attachments cannot be downloaded although I can see them in the article submission wizard. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Second this problem. I overcame it by pointing the downloads to files on my own servers, but couldn't get them working through CP's servers. For the CP staff: my affected article is dwl::fractalBrowser. Feel free to fix the links to the files uploaded to CP.
edit - I haven't fixed the link to the first zip file in the DWinLib Build Process article. It is also fubar, so you can see what is happening there.
