isn't it that once you release your own work as GPL you don't really
own this and even you cannot use it in closed source software?

When you license something, you still own the copyright.  You can then
release it under other licenses as well, and for versions you have
modified you can release it under another license *only* if you choose,

thanks of explanation. i believed that the rules of GPL affects everyone including the programmer who wrote the code.

This is good as with programs that doesn't have huge list of authors, it is still possible to get away from GPL.

Would be nice to see someday that term "Free software" will only mean free software, not "free software but..."
