If you don't distribute the code in binary form, then you don't have to
release the source either. Operating a server does not count as
releasing a binary, so you are under no legal burden to release the
source. This may not go over well with people, but the GPL allows it.

I think that tends to lead towards more forking, and seems to have less
mindshare on the internet today. That said, I really like being able to
use BSD licensed code at work, and I think it is definately the way to
go for libraries, stacks, and other things that are the nuts and bolts
we build with..
