Not necessarily. If the change is straighforrwad and just adding a
condition it does not change any part of the agreeent itself. i say
that the change that I propose will not affect the compatibility

It will certainly affect the compatibility of all SA licensed works.

It would break compatibility.

As has already been mentioned, the licenses state that they are the entire agreement. We cannot add extra conditions. We can state how we expect the agreement to be interpreted, but we cannot bolt on extra restrictions.
