I can own the copyright in all of the GPL code in the sense that I don't
intend to try and (re)license Zeo's code under GPL; I'd only be GPL'ing the
code that I write.

The other way I could take "own the copyright in all the GPL code" would be
to mean that I can't have other contributors that share in copyright
ownership for the GPL (as in not Zeo's) code.  That would be unfortunate.
Say it ain't so!

What is a dispensation?  Searching around tells me that it's making an
exemption to some part of the license, but I'm not sure what I'd be
exempting.
