I don't think, actually, that you're permitted to restrict them from 
distributing the changes, because the base code is GPL.  But you'd have 
to ask an expert in the GPL about that.

What I meant was, again, "*/I/ DO NOT GPL IT!*" - as in, "no matter what 
the company does with the code (and they'd probably have all the rights 
to do it) - */I/ WILL NOT BE THE ONE TO OFFICIALLY PUT IT UNDER THE 
GPL!*" :-)

It's a matter of pride :-)

But technically your code ends up being GPL'ed. :-)

(Yes, I'm engaging in a little "let's see how much I can wind clipka up" 
here. ;-) )
