I don't think licenses usually work that way. If I share some code under an open source license, I can't later decide to revoke it. Similarly, if I share some application or library under a freeware license (gratis, but not open source), I think I can't later decide to just revoke it (unless the original license terms clearly stated that I can do that, or unless it was a time-limited license to begin with). I can decide to put later versions of the software under different terms but that's all I can do.
