That last sentence can't possibly relate to the preceding one.
A copyright holder can give away its stuff to one group and sell it to
another. That's its perogative. So, giving away something can in no way
be regarded as an indication of lack-of-ownership.


Please note that I think the TSG case is a load of bollocks. But the
abovementioned factoid is not evidence for one party or the other.

Regards,
Arjen.
