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.
