It is explicitly illegal to waive it by prior contract. So i can't see that the status of a license as a contrast makes any difference at all for this issue. If you think it does, please write an answer that shoes how. | |

| Apr 10, 2021 at 15:59 | comment | added | David Siegel | @user6726 because that does not seem relevant to the ability of the author to cancel the license. It is an interesting but quite separate issue, unless I have missed something. Why do you think it is relevant to this answer? | |
