Correct.

 To give an example: if I choose a license that states that all versions
of the software should remain open source, would I then be able to
create a version that is not open source?

Yes.  This is the model used by, for instance, Sun.  They license
OpenOffice under the LGPL (an open source license) but also distribute
some of the same code under a proprietary license as StarOffice.
