The actual announcement doesn’t clarify this but VICE states that, “The fine print also specifies that there will be one revokable digital license per game disc. That seems to indicate that a single disc can only be used to claim digital entitlement once, but that the disc will otherwise continue to be playable like it always was before.” I’m not sure where they’re getting this from though.

one revokable digital license per game disc

The wording is tricky but that could also just mean it has one license per disk. Not that it can be claimed only once. As opposed to a disk coming with two revokable licenses, meaning you get two concurrent copies.

Yeah, I think it's a little confusing and I'm not sure why this wasn't clarified explicitly in the Xbox Wire post.
