This is correct, with the exception of the bit in parens. If anyone other
than the author uses the code or binaries, the source must be made available
to the public. In-house applications are subject to GPL release just as if
they were distributed publicly.
Hit google and do a search for "Mozilla" "GPL" "GNU", that should turn up a
few different spots to look up some various types of licensing. I used to
know a site that had copies of a lot of different license types, but have
since forgotten where it was.

I interpret this on the opposite sense:

Maybe you are referring to this one:
