Uhhhh... what's murky?

A rights holder can both have offered non-exclusive grants,
and subsequently transferred copyright ownership. How all of
this would interact with the world of open licenses, where
signed agreements are generally non-existent and works are
handed off from one third party to another with the licensed
consent of the author, is quite unclear.

As usual, you choose to claim that the outcome would be such
as to disfavor the intended operation of the GPL, but also as
usual, there is no reason to believe your claim.
