sorry for being pedantic, but i believe there is a big misunderstanding on the 
nature of free software licences. None of them in any way restrict the original 
author of the code.

So do many large free software projects. Some of them will not even consider 
additions which have minor issues with brackets in the different places, etc. 
some may not accept patches at all.

Free software licenses do not restrict the original author in any way, since the 
author never had to agree to any license. Only the users are limited in some way 
(and in case of GPL, for example, only in the event when they wish to 
redistribute the work based on the downloaded code). So i can write some code 
under GPL and then turn around and sell the rights to it to Microsoft...

A lot of people dual licence stuff.
