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,
