I do not recognize some random webpage, regardless of being on a UW site as being authoritative on this matter. This is heightened as they do not specify their source for this statement that any of the joint owners may grant nonexclusive copyright to any third party.
In fact I'm really surprised that whoever wrote this thinks it's standard to make declaractive statements about some law that they don't even cite. It's certainly pre-Wikipedia. I'd like to read the actual copyright law that supports this particular claim.

Then do a bit of searching on your own.

17USC106: "...the owner of copyright under this title has the exclusive rights to do and to authorize any of the following" Note especially the absence of an article before "copyright", and the presence of the word "authorize".
