At least one of the removed patent licenses promises to make available

Agreed in principle.
On the other hand (trying to play devil's advocate), if the promise was
made by someone in the organization that did not have authority to
commit the organization to that statement, I could see why the
responsible persons for that organization would want the original
statement made invisible, so as to not have to eternally go around and
explain the situation.....
