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.
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".
