Either license can grant you the right to distribute it, but how you get the

that original author. You have no power to grant or modify rights to the
original work.
Secondary parties have the power to grant or modify rights, if delegated
to them by the original author.
Relicensing and transfer of rights happens all the time. How do you
think most music gets into consumer hands?
