Update: obligatory preamble - IANAL, but... Smile

This is a really interesting question that you brought up.

There seems to be different ideas of what the GPL really says about modifying the code. As an example I could mention the discussion about binary-only modules in the linux kernel.

Have a look at this page: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html. It contains a lot information about what you asked. Take a moment to read it, especially the questions about linking GPL-ed code with proprietary code. To me it seems like the GPL forbids you to take GPL-ed code, extend it and release it under another stricter license.
