You don't get to say that. Copyright protects the author of a work, but does not bind them to enforce it in any instance. Unlike a trademark, a copyright holder does not lose their protection by allowing unlicensed usage.
It is wholly at the copyright holders discretion to decide which usages they allow and which they do not.
