Just a point of clarification: you only have to release the source for
your changes if you distribute the altered software to a third
party--internal use is fine, which I suppose covers changes made by
hired consultants. On the other hand, most people find that having their
code bug-searched for free is a strong incentive to contribute any
changes back to the community.
