WRONG! The writing is just a written expression of the
terms of the license. If the grantor of the license
retains the power to revoke (which is inherent in any
license except those coupled with an interest or those
in which the license itself limits that power) they
can revoke be revoked at will. The fact that the
license was reduced to a writing doesnt mean you can
go around waiving the old license and using it. If it
is revoked, it is revoked. Your "new document"
argument is not legally valid.
