Ah, but it says "coping AND distribution" so you would be free to copy as long as much as you want as long as you don't distribute it. (which I guess means provide copies to other people).

Yes.

And the GPL also allow to use your own modifications for your own business, without compulsory redistribution. If it was not the case, the FSF would be thrilled about DRM and "trusted computing"...

Actually, no. Check CC's "human readable" version:

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/GPL/2.0/

"If you copy or distribute the program, you must accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code or with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to furnish the complete corresponding machine-readable source code."

I am not a lawyer, but I take this to mean that you must provide the source code to anyone you distribute it to. Hence, if you only distribute your modifications to people inside your company, you only need to give the source code of those modifications to those same people inside your company.

Best,

Chris.
