As I said in my last meme, I've been doing alot of FOSS license research. Its amazes me how few people understand the GPL. The above statement is totally false. There is nothing in the GPL which forces you to release any changes you make to GPL software. From the GPL FAQ:

The GPL does not require you to release your modified version. You are free to make modifications and use them privately, without ever releasing them. This applies to organizations (including companies), too; an organization can make a modified version and use it internally without ever releasing it outside the organization.

But if you release the modified version to the public in some way, the GPL requires you to make the modified source code available to the program's users, under the GPL.

The NSA chose to do what it did. Don't try and say the GPL has reduced our National Security. You can find the GNU GPL FAQ here:
