I think you are confusing re-licensing with sub-licensing, which are not the same. Under copyright law, the copyright holder is granted certain exclusive rights over their work and re-licensing is one of the rights. If the license grants sub-licensing, a licensee can pass on some or all of the rights in the license to a third party. Of the three licenses you mentioned, only the MIT license allows sub-licensing.

The license terms for a sub-license must be consistent with the original license terms, although not necessarily the same. The sub-licensor can use different words as in the original license, but they cannot override the terms and conditions that are required by that license. The sub-licensor cannot sub-license more rights than have been granted by the original license.

Works released under the Apache, BSD, and MIT license can be included in a larger work with a more restrictive license or modifications can be put under such a restrictive license, but the original license must remain intact.

If you are getting your information on re-licensing from the Wikipedia page below, it is wrong.
