It looks to me like the entire slimserver package has been released under the GPL. IANAL nor am I a GPL expert, but if a future version of the slimserver contained code based on previous versions of the slimserver (even if totally copyrighted by slimdevices), I don't think it could not be forked under a non-free license. This is part 6 of the GPL: [snip] I think this also applies to when the original licensor (in this case slimdevices) wants to release new versions of a program.
You're incorrect, Yan. The copyright owner _grants_ the license, they are not bound by it. They own the code, and can do anything they like with it, including releasing a modified version under a non-free license:
