   Moreover, Jean-Marc re-released 0.6.1 under the Artistic license,
   which I don't know if he is allowed to do without changing the
   version number.
   Meanwhile, he implemented Igor's patch for VMS to one of those
   two 0.6.1 versions.

   Before that, I would like to know:
    - was Jean-Marc allowed to release IglooFTP 0.6.1 under the GPL,
   and later release the very same version under a different license ?

If he owns the copyright, he can release it under whatever licenses he
wants.  Copyright owners can offer any sets of terms they care to.

Note that he can't prevent anyone from continuing to use and
distribute the GPL version.
