I am afraid you are wrong here. GPL'd software need not be open to any
third party. ie, If I sell you  a GPL'd software I should give you the
source also  along with the  binary. But I  need not give  your friend
the source of same same software till he purchases it. 

But of-course you can give the source to your friend. :-)
