More importantly, amending the license ahead of time so that this specific example is allowed doesn't address the root problem. The *recipient* of the work is the one who should be deciding what changes are appropriate for a free work; the licensor *cannot* pretend to cover all possibilities by any means other than an unqualified "you may make any changes to the work". Any work with modification restrictions narrower than that is not a free work. -- \ "A poet more than thirty years old is simply an overgrown | `\ child." -- Henry L.
