The author of the code.  He is the copyright holder and can license 
under MIT, GPL, both or none.  If he licenses under MIT, someone later 
can take it verbatim and release under GPL as well.  If he releases 
under the GPL, no one *but him* can later also release it under MIT 
license or any other.

What is more free?  Something that takes measures to always be free or 
something that is so free that even allows something to not be free anymore?
