Software is literary work. A copyright licensee governs rights (modulo
limitations) regarding (protected elements in) work. One doesn't need
to be an owner of a copy in order to become a party to a copyright
license.
One can reproduce works (and do other things reserved to copyright
owners like for example public performance) from brain's memory.

More bullshit. Those are simply different contracts (offers) all
governing rights in the same work. A would-be licensee simply has a
choice to become a party to any of those license contracts that the
work is licensed under.

One can of course retain copies made pursuant to copyright license
grant (not those additional copies made under 17 USC 117).
