You still need to show that rescinding the license you granted for your open source code is even a thing. It would basically look to collapse a good portion of the software industry into an endless flurry of lawsuit from any number of contributors and their heirs looking to monetize blackmailing projects by threatening to take back contributions. Why wouldn't the US court system nope out of all that by any means available?

Yeah, I was also led to understand that if you've distributed version 1.00 of your code with a license, there's no rescinding that, you can only stop distributing the license for versions 1.01 onwards. People wouldn't be allowed to use your new versions, but they can stay on version 1.00 forever.

Maybe that's just the GPL due to how it's formulated.
