I believe the correct wording would be 'make the changes available to all the
recipients of the modified software, irrespective of form of modified
software, source/binary.'
The changes does not need to go back to the owner. They should be available to
the recipient of the modified software.
Thanks Sridhar for clarifying further. When I said 'give back to
owner', I meant 'give back to community' since, my understanding is
that GPLed software ceases to belong a person and starts belonging to
the community.
But then, I should have used that word and as Rahul suggests, I better
read up :)
