   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?
   
Who holds the copyright?  This is a separate question from whether you put
`Copyright 1992 David Jones' on it.  If you used someone else's equipment
they might have a claim to it.

If you hold the copyright, you can specify whatever terms you want for a
particular copy, and change them at any time.
