All correct. When you relicense a doc, it doesn't revoke the old
license for people who obtained it under the old license. Since those
people can continue to distribute it under the old license, then it
may continue to be distributed under the old license (as well as the
new one). Of course if you revise the work and put the revision under
the new license, then the revision is obviously not under the old license
anymore (but the old version still is).
