I'm curious as to the enforceability of the all future patents clause. If I decide to license a patent under the DPL today, can I terminate my own rights as a licensee at some future date and avoid having to license my future patents in the same manner?

"If one ceases offering one’s patents under the DPL, previous licensees keep their DPLs royalty-free, but the leaving user may have her licenses converted from royalty-free to fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory terms (FRAND) at the discretion of the remaining licensors." -http://www.defensivepatentlicense.org/content/frequently-ask...

I'm worried about how this would affect someone's employability. Could this "poison" your work in the eye of a corporation's legal department?
