I think you are right and I think I’ve misunderstood the license. I’m going to have to remove it, at least for the time being. I’m very sorry about that.

The GPL doesn't require you to open source your software in all cases (if it remains internal to a company, it's fine). However the minute you distribute binaries to 3rd parties, you also have to give them a way to get the source, true.
Don't be sorry, looks like you did valuable work ! But again if you're not going to sell it, why not share the source so even more people can benefit and thank you for it ?
