It is a straight-up copyright and a license in combo.
And I might not have the terminology right, but isn't this very thing done all
the time?
North American First Publishing Rights.
Serial Rights.
Movie Rights.
Etc. Etc.
Granted, CC is a twist on this, but still.
The way I have had the law explained to me is that you get the copyright
automatically. Unless you assign that to someone else later, you have to
copyright. Everything else is a license grant or contract or whatever.
I think I know what you are getting at, but I don't buy it.
all the best,
