I have NEVER said you couldn't edit and re-develop on it?

The plugin is one thing, ... you can do whatever you want with it - that's correct!

However:

The "http://falahati.net/steamapi/queryPlaytime.php" thing is something else.

The GPL does not allow you to "spam away queries towards any site", nor does it disallow it either.

So if you don't have permission from the owner of falahati.net to use it, e.g. unless the owner of falahati.net said something like "Do whatever you want with it, just don't blame me for the results of your plugin", then you should either set up your own end point or find an alternative way of doing the public<->private profile check.
