But only to those you distribute it to.

And you can't place any restriction on their ability to redistribute or
fork the code to their own GPL project.

But that doesn't mean you have to make the source available for free to
anyone.

If they are selling their product, provided they supply source on
request, and package a copy of the GPL license with the software, they
can do pretty much what they want.
