The GPL governs and restricts distribution and work based on GPL software.
It says nothing about having to release code or changes made to the public.
I had a similar discussion recently on the vpopmail list. I think this may
be a common misconception.
The GPL from the COPYING file in the qmailadmin source includes the following (note, in particular, item 2b):
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
parties under the terms of this License.So, if the qmailadmin the nuoli.com is truly derived from Inter7's qmailadmin sources, the public has the right to license it at no charge under the GPL license.
