If I'm not mistaken, those sorts of licenses are merely to permit sites that 
retain user submissions to store that content and resend it others in some form 
(usually forums) without infringing on copyright. It doesn't automatically 
allow other users to use that content as it's the site that is granted the 
license--the work isn't placed into the Public Domain.

Of course, these licenses do mean that such websites could, in principle, take 
someones hard work and use it themselves even though the original creator 
retains ownership.

I would argue that the "to allow others" phrase in the Stack Exchange terms is 
intended to refer only to third-parties that work with them to provide or 
develop its services rather than others generally, but it's ill-defined here 
and could extend to anyone SE deems applicable.

Kind regards,
Mike
