Unpopular opinion: preservationism shouldn't care about licensing and legal nonsense.
Because what is the point if something is distributed in a restrictive license, can't be preserved and then gets lost to time? Also, licensing is to avoid distribution, modification or outright copying by competitors; preservation is completely orthogonal to those concerns. It is to avoid losing a piece of craft to the sands of time. There is no reason laws should have power over anything in perpetuity.
As seen in other spaces, pirates ignoring the "law" will provide the greatest service to humanity.
