Just for clarification:

The FLA is different from a copyright assignment the FSF was using in the US.
It is a contract.
It does not allow the fiduciary to use any license they want.
This would break the contract especially if you can argue in court
that the fiduciary broke the promisse of paragraph 4 (3).

In any way you get rights to relicense under different
licenses as much as you want.
