Does that mean that I am allowed to pick the following license

   "Anybody can do anything with this. You don't have to ask Nobody cares."

? That license is manifestly DFSG-free - yet it allows me to make
my own changes to the code and re-release it under a proprietary
license.

What prevents me from chosing the license above as an enduser and
subsequently redefine myself as a developer?

Also, what would be the point of your licensing scheme if nobody
who changes the code can change the license? Then the whole thing
simply reduces to yet another viral incompatible-with-everything
license.
