I think you're confusing licensing and copyright assignment. A copyright holder, or all of them if there are multiple, can offer their works under additional licenses. Some open-source projects require assignment of copyright so that a single entity has this power; some projects leave the copyright with the author and accept work offered under a given license or set of licenses.
