You are fiercely holding the barn door shut when the back wall is down
and the horse is cantering down the road singing "Don't Fence Me In".
I advise you (IANAL, TINLA, but not UPL either) to let it go.

 

If this is the case the clauses in question aren't needed so could be dropped. We would surely be foolish to set the precedent that building inequality into a license is acceptable?
