Your first two points are correct, but this one is not. You have *no right* to modify someone else's item except if the license on that item permits it. And then you have to examine that item's license to determine what conditions can apply to the modified version. The MIT license permits me to apply any terms of my choosing to a modified version of MIT licensed code. I can be more restrictive than the original with my modified version. The GPL only permits me to apply the GPL's own terms when I distribute my modified version, but imposes no restrictions when I do not distribute it.
