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).

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
