I am interested in a license that allows the copyright owner to decrease term of a copyright, while maintaining full copyright otherwise. For example, someone may decide that he doesn’t need life+75 years and is happy with life+50 years.

Life+50 years is still ridiculous. Consider that you'll be 50 years *dead* by then. 90% of copyrighted material sees no use after *1* year.

Please consider using the Founder's copyright:
http://creativecommons.org/projects/founderscopyright/

It is based on the original US copyright system of 14 years + an option to renew later for an additional 14 years. Together, they are far more than what 99.99% of copyrighted material need.

Cheers,
Daniel.
