  34 <PRE>If I were to make modifications to services to suit our needs, would I have
  35 to distribute the modifications because of GPL or could the modifications be
  36 kept private to us?

  62 </I>&gt;<i> of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
  63 </I>&gt;<i> distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
  64 </I>&gt;<i> above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
  65 </I>&gt;<i>
  66 </I>&gt;<i>     a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
  67 </I>&gt;<i>     stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
  68 </I>&gt;<i>
  69 </I>&gt;<i>     b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
  70 </I>&gt;<i>     whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
  71 </I>&gt;<i>     part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
  72 </I>&gt;<i>     parties under the terms of this License.
  73 </I>&gt;<i>
  74 </I>&gt;<i> In short, if you distribute your modified services to other people in any
  75 </I>&gt;<i> way you must provide the source (on request).  There is no requirement to
  76 </I>&gt;<i> provide the source to your changes if you do not provide them for use by
  77 </I>&gt;<i> anyone else.
  78 </I>&gt;<i>
  79 </I>&gt;<i> But there is no reason not to share your work.
  80 </I>&gt;<i>
  81 </I>&gt;<i> Though, IANAL :)
