Thsi seams to be no problem for free content and I think YouTube has to
ask this rights to be able to use the content on the site.

If I get it right, the user grands all freedoms to YouTube. If he uses a
free content license he would grant the freedoms to everyone not just to
YouTube.

Where is the problem?
