Curious what the community thinks...

Is it OK to release the same manuscript / paper to multiple preprint servers? (Presumably because different communities look for preprints in different places.)

I was always taught that it was not kosher to publish the same paper in multiple journals (that's "double dipping" and self-plagiarism). But most people release papers to a preprint server AND publish the same paper subsequently in a peer-reviewed journal.

Note: we can assume, for the sake of discussion, that this will only be one line on a CV. (In the same way that people say "... in journal X... also available as a preprint at ...", people can say "... in journal X... also available as a preprint at ... and at ...")

Thoughts?
Please boost for discussion.
