You simply aren't listening. Nobody is talking about recinding anything. This is very simple, and if you do not understand, then go ask a lawyer. The copyright owner can license their work under whatever terms they choose. Period. End of story. I can make up a different stupid license to release my code under every day for a year, and none of the previous license terms have any effect on me, or how I license it in the future. It only has an impact on the people licensing that code from me. Licenses allow other people to do things, the copyright holder can always do whatever they want, they don't have to agree to the terms of their own license. Adam
