they can change the code until nobody can recognise it or whatever. they 
can molest, abuse, ridicule that code. as long as it stays inhouse, it's 
their choice.
now, if they modify and distribute the modified code... yes, now gpl 
kicks in and requires publishing changes (actually, that's not true 
either, they have to provide source to the receivers of the modifications).
