In order to allow for redistribution and, above all, the addition of subtitles in different languages (in my case, French), would it be possible to change the license of this video to a Creative Commons license?

another phone i've been looking at is the dumber mini, it uses a degoogled fork of lineageos and supports t-mobile in north america, which is what i'm on. there's also the commodore flip phone, which (i think) uses sailfish, but it's expensive as hell.
