Is ones liscence based on the values of when it is granted or reviewed every day?
A bit like paying $100 for some software but a year later being told they now think you should pay $5000.

Atlassian has a patent on that business process.
Indeed so, they have that right.
I personally wouldn't consider using code licensed like this, because even if I 100% agreed with the CoC and Steering Committee, both might change over time (the CoC says "We expect the Code of Conduct to be a living document") and I have no idea who'll be on the Steering Committee in 5-10 years time, and whoever it is will be able to pull the rug from under my feet at a whim.
