I can give you an indefinite, unrestricted license to do whatever but I still own the copyright.
Isn’t this distinction academic?

Not quite, this does have certain legal implications. Check out the CC0 license’s “Public License Fallback” text: creativecommons.org/publicdomain/…/legalcode.en#f… The “license to do whatever” is more like a “license to do whatever except for whatever a court ruled I cannot give a license for”.
