This is a retorical question that has nothing to do with changing
the licensen.  (And so was the rest for that matter.)

Ny scheme that depends on us changing the license is a non-starter
for both practical (we'd need to get everybodys acceptance of that,
and piss of a large number of users who have cleared the BSD license
with their laywers) and ideological (we don't want to create uncertainty
about the well known and deeply established BSD license).
