Despite the questions of wording of the GPL3 itself, this actually makes a
great deal of sense.  Thanks :-)

As I think about this, the only time permissions are likely to be removed
are during a fork or after a dependency is removed that required a linking
exception.  In short this makes this mostly a formality in advance of making
the changes (when it has the force of copyright law).

Thanks again.

Best Wishes,
