Your correct.

I guess im nitpicking, but what im saying is that i dont think the
right to modify code without distributing is a right the GPL grants,
its something you can do.

Maybe its an implied right, im not sure... 

Im tempted to pull out my book on open source licencing, it talks about
rights (as a legal term) in regard to licences and contracts... but im
late for work.
