When age checks are mandated by law, it’s probably better to have them in the OS so you have to prove maturity to only one party instead of uploading your photo ID to the verification partners of a dozen apps.

You can relicense code. Though that doesn’t mean that you can take anything away. You just open another avenue for people to use what you wrote and developed, and any old license still exists and retains validity; the way you can curtail rights is by not granting liberal terms on newly created code.

Wasn’t Hawaii a popular honeymoon destination once?
