Interesting question about the GPL:

I have written a couple of library modules to do various things; they
have been released to the public under the GLPL.

If I write a program that I don't want to put under the GPL or GLPL, but
I want to use my own copylefted code, then can I do this without violating
the GPL or distributing object modules to comply with the GLPL?

Please note that I am the author of all the code in question here.
No one else's code is involved.  And I fully intend/am willing to
have the library modules remain free for public use under the GPL.
