I think the specific license you choose is a bigger factor than the amount of code or of a product open sourced. I think the line is, if you are the dominant open source player in a specific market or likely to be, like sugarcrm is, it makes sense to use GPL. If on the other hand you are not the incumbent, it makes sense to use a more liberal license, so LGPL/bsd/mit like vtiger has. So the line really depends on your status in the market your in.

When dealing with websites the GPL is almost a liberal license. There is no requirement for a server operator of GPL'ed software to share the code with the users of that software. If you want to copyleft the code and make sure ALL users of the software get access to the sourcecode, use the AGPL.
