A pedantic note: you are not *obliged* to make your changes available
*unless* you *distribute* the changed version (i.e. you are permitted
to modify and use the modified program).  If you do choose to make your
changes available to others, you must provide the source, so as to
extend the same freedoms to them.

To clarify for the original poster - you are permitted to *use* GIMP for
any purpose, and you are permitted to modify it for your own use without
restriction.  If you want to redistribute the program to others, please
read the licence terms carefully.
