Clause 2b says:
b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, that
in whole or in part contains the Program or any part thereof, either
with or without modifications, to be licensed at no charge to all
third parties under the terms of this General Public License (except
that you may choose to grant warranty protection to some or all
third parties, at your option).
Note that it says you must "license" the Program. This is not the same
as distributing it -- it means only that all third parties have the right
to use, copy, etc., the program, not that you're obligated to furnish a
copy to them.
