Yes I've tries that. It does not go as deep into the question as this
thread.

I mean the fact that a copyright owner can go rogue and change a license
alone without asking if the other copyright owners would agree and at the
same time all the copyright owners must act in cooperation in order to
enforce a license. This is is a sad state of affairs.

explained in several published essays.

Could you please explain why you think so?
