Mr Connolly may in fact be the copyright holder, but the GPL may still require the public relese.
There's a widespread misconception that if you modify code which you're using under the GPL, you always have to release your modifications under the GPL.
This is simply not true. If you don't give or sell copies of your product to other people, you don't have to release source code. For example, if your code just runs on your web servers, you needn't reveal it.
