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:
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.
Essentially, you modify it, and you distribute it in any way, means you must also give the source code away under the same license. You don't have to contact an upstream and offer it, but you do have to publish it and thus the original author must have access to the source code changes. Unless you plan on keeping it specifically to yourself, this is a rule.
