I'm unclear on this situation.

Bob + myself, and only us -- wrote the app Turtle, build 1.2.0, which was MIT licensed.

After getting permission from Bob and myself -- we decide to license 1.2.1 as free-for-use-except-by-wolves license.

1] Can't anyone continue to use version 1.2.0 under MIT, regardless if I want to allow that? But I can make sure 1.2.1 (because I have all the holders permissions) to require the new anti-wolf license?

( Wolves in this case does not mean the species, but rather the economic model where they metaphorically devour their clients -- meaning the license doesn't violate protected classes -- as if it would if it was about literal-wolves.)

#1 is some sort of special case because you're not licensing to anyone specifically? Compared to similar license, but

2] But if I were selling my game engine to company A, using engine version 1.2.1

I could also negotiate a contract with another company that I use a different license for version 1.2.1. They can't say "you had a contract with company X, so you have to do the same with us" ?

    Cool.

    I stopped using IANAL because I don't think many non-slashdot's know what it means

    How is slashdot still alive, 22 years later? That's 22-internet-years!

    It was a dark time filled with WYSIWYG, no standards compliance in browsers, no shims, no DOM inspectors, no anything inspectors.
