> The license description at choosealicense.com actually misrepresents the GPL. The GPL doesn't actually require that the source of modified versions be released to the original author.

Where are you seeing a description that says sources must go to the author? I only see

> requires anyone who distributes your code or a derivative work to make the source available under the same terms

and

> When distributing derived works, the source code of the work must be made available under the same license.

Those both seem accurate, if maybe a little less clear than they might be.
