Regarding the idea that taking Mike's license is as simple as a 3-to-1 BRI vote, it's not *really* that simple. It would be tied up in litigation for years, probably past the lifespan of some of these guys. Sure, *maybe* they'd get Mike off the touring circuit while the lawsuit played out. But BRI would be losing all of the licensing fees while simultaneously putting out money for lawyers to pursue the lawsuit.

Mike got his foot in the door in the mid-late 90s when nobody but Al seemed to care, and now it's kind of, in practice anyway, a "possession is 9/10 of the law" sort of thing with the name.

All of that, coupled with the fact that it would probably be *very* difficult to even get those three votes, the idea of stripping Mike of the license is exceedingly less likely than even all of the guys reuniting again, and probably less likely than Van Dyke Parks and Mike Love recording an album together.
