The Proprietary Relicensing provision should also apply in circumstances where 'We' (perhaps including licensors downstream from the original licensor) offer to forgive past or future noncompliance with respect to a work 'We' do not distribute (e.g., what would be a downstream Derived Work but which is created by someone lateral to 'you') through purchase of a proprietary license.
