The copyright holder can do whatever he/she wants with the code, no
matter what license the code is originally released under.

So Ximian is free to release code as GPL, but is also free make
proprietary changes to it and release it as non-GPL.

Likewise, you are free to release your code under the GPL, but also to
re-use your GPL code for writing proprietary applications yourself.
