I mean, that makes sense, but consider the other side. You find some document that very clearly says that you have a license to do whatever the hell you want with it.

In this particular case, you probably heard the news, but in many other cases, you just couldn't trust any license anymore, because there's just no way to know whether something was intended to be licensed like that. It would pretty much defeat the purpose of licensing anything at all.
