No it does not. The license only applies to other people. As the copyright holder the choice of license does not bind you in anyway; this is why it is possible to release something under multiple licenses (say GPL & BSD), provided that you fully own the copyright. The GPL does bind the behavior of others, but only to assure reciprocity. It assures that corporations cannot freeload off your efforts without contributing back.
