There is also a GPL-FAQ:

Passage from this FAQ:

I would like to release a program I wrote under the GNU GPL, but I
would like to use the same code in non-free programs.

   To release a non-free program is always ethically tainted, but
legally there is no obstacle to your doing this. If you are the
copyright holder for the code, you can release it under various
different non-exclusive licenses at various times.

"To release a non-free program is always ethically tainted"??? Is the author talking specifically about RE-releasing software that was under a "free" license under a non-free license, or is he speaking generally?? (If it's the first answer, then the author worded that paragraph VERY poorly).
