I'm surprised at how poorly some of the posts here describe the GPL.
GPL - If you give me software, I can request the source. I can edit the source to my hearts content and never show anyone. If I distribute the software to someone else they have the right to request my changes.
BSD - If you give me the software I have no right to the source. You can give it to me or not.
AGPL - If you run a service which someone else connects to (such as a web server) that end user has the right to request the source along with your changes even though you have not actually distributed the modified software to that end user.
