GPL seems to live in a gray area.

Take the example of asterisk, which is supposed to be GPL.
Digium can release it under a proprietory license. They might do some 
special enharnancement to the "proprietory" version of asterisk, e.g. G.729.
Is this enharnancement to the "proprietory" version also and 
enharnancement to the "GPL" version, and thus should it be GPL?
