Well... I'm asking about whether one can use a letter to clarify 
ambiguities. For example, if it's not clear exactly what is meant by 
"references", maybe I can say that "references" refers to "authorship 
references". Can I do that? Or is that the same as making a new license?

I was hoping it'd be the same license, with an explanation of what those 
terms were meant as.

I gather from your post that this isn't how a clarification letter works.
:-(

Best,
