What was the original license that people paid for? Is there anything in there that would protect them?

That doesn't matter. If you buy a house and miss a sentence buried in page 2,784 of the agreement that says that the previous owner can arbitrarily decide to take the house back whenever they feel like it, that still won't hold up in court. Digital products need to work the same way.
