Short primer on copyright (IANAL):

When you create an original work (i.e. you write code yourself) you automatically have the copyright to that work (your code).
This means - no one _else_ may distribute or copy your code. Including using it in their own library/product.

You can let others use your code by giving them a license to use it, you can write your own terms for how others are allowed to use your code or you can simply use one of the existing licenses like GPL.

Giving someone a license to use your code does not mean _you_ give up copyright, it is still your code, you can do whatever you want with it. You can sell it, change license et c.
