You're exaggerating in this case. But if you're going down that road then
liam123 is the least of your worries.
Anyway, that's a legal question for a license switch, and the moment he (or
anybody else for that matter) touches a node/way/relation it doesn't matter
how we revert, we'll still have the problem. The bonus of exact reverts is
that they should be pretty easy to detect and discard, but radical changes
moved roughly back might not be that hard.
