The wording may not be appropriate though. I absolutely agree, but that clause still give the *ability* to change the liscense whenever, however and to whatever they (you) want.. I think it's a concern because it does give that ability.. I understand that you aren't going to do this, but the fact remains that it will be legally possible, because of that clause.. - Mitch
