Yes, as explained in the quote I posted:
Quote:

Share access to your games with everyone inside your home: Your friends and family, your guests and acquaintances get unlimited access to all of your games. Anyone can play your games on your console--regardless of whether you are logged in or their relationship to you.
|
... plus you can also share your game library with your family, so they can play on your console or their own:
Quote:
|
Give your family access to your entire games library anytime, anywhere: Xbox One will enable new forms of access for families. Up to ten members of your family can log in and play from your shared games library on any Xbox One. Just like today, a family member can play your copy of Forza Motorsport at a friend’s house. Only now, they will see not just Forza, but all of your shared games. You can always play your games, and any one of your family members can be playing from your shared library at a given time.

From the Xbox.com article:

... I read that as any
one (not "anyone") of the family members you have shared with can play any of your games at a given time. So yes, you'd both be able to play COD, from my understanding of it.

No.
If you *give* a game to someone else, you lose your own access to it. You cannot install a game, give the disc to a friend, and keep playing the game yourself off the HDD.
It's the whole point of the 24hr check-ins: to ensure you're not trying to play something you no longer have the right to play.
If the disc you bought gets authenticated against someone else's account it would be de-authenticated from your account.
- Anyone can play any of your games on your console.
- You can share your library with up to 10 family members, who can play any of your games on their own consoles.
- You can *give* a game to someone else as a one-off transaction.

... We don't yet know how the "family" thing would work, but I'd assume there'd be some sort of "household" restriction for having "family" members on one account, otherwise people could just team up with up to 9 friends and share all their games with each other.
