Well, it actually seems rather strange to me for an organization which
is designed to "protect" artists disallowing artists from determining
how their own works are licensed, so I'm trying to give them the
benifit of the doubt here.

No, because it wouldn't be acceptable for main, and they'd have to
review it anyway. [That said, it's your time, so do whatever you think
is best.]

read the letter, and you still can't, thats security.
