No, no. The emphasis is on *personal*. The GPL allows you to make mods and keep them to yourself; only if you distribute binary must you also distribute source. The OPL requires distribution of any mods you make unless they are *very* personal indeed. -- And through this revolting graveyard of the universe the muffled, maddening beating of drums, and thin, monotonous whine of blasphemous flutes from inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond Time; the detestable pounding and piping whereunto dance slowly, awkwardly, and absurdly the gigantic tenebrous ultimate gods -- the blind, voiceless, mindless gargoyles whose soul is Nyarlathotep.
