The four freedoms[1] of free software specifically state that:

> The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

Emphasis in "give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes".
