As I understand it - it means your code isn't licensed. (GPLV2)
'4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise
to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
automatically terminate your rights under this License.'
'0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a
notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under
the terms of this General Public License'
If you modify it, and remove the copyright - you have no licence to the
subsequent code - even if you don't distribute it, making the
distribution clause irrelevant.
