I don’t follow your licence point - a licence can be withdrawn

I have created many materials for Apperta materials. These are licensed under MIT License or Open government or Creative Commons.

Apperta publish materials under the same licenses. These licenses are non-discriminatory and irrevocable. Apperta would have to re-license all the materials under restrictive license that allowed for discriminatory restrictions.

From grant award:

Any software built during the grant award period must be released under an OSI license (except by the express written agreement of the Apperta Foundation). g. Any software built during the grant award period must use a recognised open standards data model, to be agreed with the foundation (except by the express written agreement of the Apperta Foundation). h. Any training material, user guides and similar collateral developed during the grant award period must be released under the Open Government license (except by the express written agreement of the Apperta Foundation).

Grant award attached. It is very clearly timeboxed. The only term that survives the term is that of retaining records.
