They could if they were rewritten from scratch, or if someone succeeded in contacting all of the rightsholders (which include corporations and estates) and getting permission. I don't think either of these is either feasible or worth the effort, in the case of successors to the main reports. It's not as if someone said "hey let's use a nonstandard license". The rights regime for the reports was agreed before there was such a thing as a standard license. Users of the text must, unfortunately, use their brains. For de novo documents, that would be another story, and that should be discussed by the authors.
