Uh retard Hyman.

A joint work can be created without any license at all. The GPL doesn't
have to say anything about joint works (just like in the case of no
license at all) for a joint work created that is available to
non-coauthors under the GPL. Coauthors don't need any non-exclusive
license -- they have exclusive ownership!!!
