Well thank you Alien. You have officially contributed nothing to this thread but proof that you didn't read it.
Copyright is literally, the right to copy, though in legal terms "the right to control copying" is more accurate. Copyright are exclusive statutory rights to exercise control over copying and other exploitation of the works for a specific period of time. The copyright owner is given two sets of rights: an exclusive, positive right to copy and exploit the copyrighted work, or license others to do so, and a negative right to prevent anyone else from doing so without consent, with the possibility of legal remedies if they do.

So if you could please point out where in the words © 2010 Quinn Wood states the terms of this license you speak of, maybe I will be inclined to believe that the many editors who have contributed to this definition are incorrect.
License does not describe what you can and cannot do with copyright. Intellectual property law does. The license describes what others are allowed to do with your idea or information. You do not transfer copyright to others in a license, as otherwise you would allow them to control the copying of the said idea or information.
