Just a clarification. Some licenses don't allow that. The GPL is one of those. If you make some changes to GPL software then sell a copy to someone with an additional contract not to redistribute the software, you are in violation of the license. http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DoesTheGPLAllowNDA Of course, other licenses allow you to do that. (BSD for example) So, if you want to use some code, make sure you agree to the license. If you are writing your own code, you can license it however you like.
