My brother just got some image hosting software for our site that's licensed under the GPL. He wanted to personalize it a little bit, like changing a couple of the names of the buttons like 'About us' and 'gallery' and such. So if he were to edit it, would he be obligated to release its source code because of the GPL?
See, I'm aware that if I were to modify something like the GIMP for my own personal use and not release it, I wouldn't be obligated to release the source code... but this is online software, so what happens here?
