For now, I've seen some really egotistical folks change their license to prevent people from making forks and "stealing their work." Usually on an open source project, for example the Sodium mod for Minecraft. Squid was always a massive cunt but making a decision like that really helps no one and cements them as a cunt everywhere but the most staunch echo chambers. Only a matter of time before SCP does that too, so you can't make any forks related to it. Not sure how much it'll affect already existing forks but only time will tell.
From what I have read an understand (an I might be wrong) but if it's on the main age or accessible of the wiki it's licence over rides all because of a specific clause because it's published under that licence they can't retract it or add clauses at a minimum you have to acknowledge them and the original work.
