Well you'll hear exactly the same from whoever else, it's a pretty
simple concept. The exact same principle is in effect when a software 
company sells you a commercial license for a product that also has 
some kind of evaluation license. It's their property, they can license
it under as many licenses as they like. 

You seem to think there is something magic about opensource licenses 
that make them different, but there isn't. They're legally the same 
as any other kind of license--there are no special laws just for 
opensource software (which is actually a problem, since it's hard 
to do exactly what we might want to do with the existing laws.)
