I'm also not sure about GPL specifically, but open source software (and every
software) belongs to it's original author (Fabien in this case). If he
decides to close the sources, then every _new_ version could be closed source
and commercial. Older version must remain open source.
Again, not sure if GPL has any specific issues.
