I think you're still missing the point. A company is not required to redistribute any changes it makes to OSS code as long as it the company only uses the amended code internally. i.e. as long as they don't pass on their version on to anyone else. If they do release their product commercially, and only then, do they have to release the amended source code under the GPL.
