That's absolutely right. GPL (2 or 3) puts no limits on usage, only
on (re)distribution: you are allowed to (re)distribute if you grant
the receiver the same rights which were granted to you under that
license.

(Actually, to be more precise, the limits are there by "normal" copyright
law, and are lifted for you by the GPL).
