The context is entirely related to distribution. Yes, if I never
distribute modified GPLed code, I have no obligation to share my
modifications. But if I never distribute modified QPLed code, I have no
obligation either.

We believe in the right of the recipient to receive source.
We don't believe in the right of the copyright holder to see all
distributed modifications.
Why do we believe in one of these but not the other?
