What about all the drivers maintained by hardware vendors? Some vendors have consciously decided not to licence under 'or later'. If the hardware documentation has not been made freely available then a vendor can block what it sees as a hostile rewrite. That may just result in removal of the driver and loss of business for such a vendor. But the earlier customers would also be hurt by such a removal.
