Sigh. Do I need to spell this out in baby language.
The GPL prohibits you from modifying the source code and then redistributing it without complying with the terms of the GPL. calibre is its own development environment, therefore by agreeing to abide by the terms of the GPL you are agreeing to not modify and redistribute calibre, using calibre, without complying with the terms of the GPL.

You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.

Connect the dots. Color the pictures, whatever floats your boat.
