As long as you meet the notification requirements (including telling people 
where they can get the source for that piece, presumably what you meant by 
author's website) then your own source is completely unaffected and can be 
kept private.

For example, Netscape does not have to publish any of the AIM source that is 
in Netscape 6 even though the MPL'd Mozilla forms the bulk of the product.
