Except the developer of the code is not binded by the copyleft restriction. The developer can take his own code, modify it, and not release any modification.
The copyleft requirement restrict what others developers can do with the code. If they don't like it... well, who are they to use the code at all?

Yes agreed, the original developer is not bound since they still retain the copyright. I meant to say 'reproducing' the code, not 'producing'. Only the developers of derived code are restricted.
