I may indeed be being dense, but I don't see it as that easy yet. I would like
to have it explained to me step by step if it really is that easy.
With dual licenses, I see it as easy because I would point to the other
license and say I am not using this one at all.
However, if I am trying to use this one with modifications that are not
mutually agreed upon and in writing, then I would think that "This License
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Work
licensed here." might kick in and prevent that.
I couldn't say I am not using this license but another one. Or what? Plus, in
the case of SA licenses, wouldn't modifications make mixing works with mods
and no mods or different mods not possible?
I am happy to be wrong here, I would just like to understand things better if
so.
