The GPL does not impose restrictions on anybody. Ever.

What it does is to conditionally grant rights. If you meet the conditions,  
you
are granted the rights. If not, you're left with whatever copyright law  
allows.

The author of something already has all the rights that a license can  
possibly
grant, i.e., the rights that copyright law reserves for the author, so he  
won't
have to worry about satisfying any conditions.
