Well, Berkeley DB isn't under the GPL per se but that's not really the important point. Even Version 2 of the GPL (which is what everyone uses) has no clause about releasing source code for a service/website. It's only shipped products (not services) that must publish their source if they are using GPL licensed software. Version 3 of the GPL does have some clauses around service/website usage but that's not yet finalized.
