回答by Pierre Arlaud
If you release it with a license, you allow people to use it as the licence describes. You can't just say "no I changed my mind I don't want it to be under GPL". Of course your future release may be in another licence (except that the GPL forces modified versions to be GPL too).
如果您使用许可证发布它，则您允许人们按照许可证所述使用它。你不能只是说“不，我改变了主意，我不希望它在 GPL 之下”。当然，您未来的版本可能会采用另一个许可证（除了 GPL 强制修改后的版本也是 GPL）。
