I'd guess that Meta is going to scrap everything anyway, and this license addition is just something that they think may come in useful if there are future court cases. The details of who has permission to grant licenses won't matter until then.

Yes that makes senses. It's a hedge.

Meta's past behaviour has been to ignore illegality in business, with the hope that they can either win in court or stave off legal action altogether.

That's how they acted with the books they pirated to train models and when they targeted children with gambling products to increase revenue.

They love a legal grey area. It's not what's moral it's what you can get away with.
