Just wanted to point out one inaccuracy. You say that: "the terms of the license dictate that the user of such software is required to allow others access to the source code of whatever you have developed based on the aforementioned software." That is not totally inaccurate. You only need to disclose the source if you _distribute_ what you have developed. Thus companies are free to modify GPL code without disclosing it if is for internal use. Hi,
