As has been pointed out hundreds more times, those limitations are
imposed by copyright law more than by licences. Even the licences
which can be modified (such as the GPL), can't be modified if you
wish downstream recipients to exercise the permissions.

You and your ilk may choose to ignore this as a minor detail and pretend
that it's irrelevent, but that's because you're extremist nutcases
highly skilled at ignoring reality when it contradicts your lunatic view.
