I'm not a lawyer but the way I read it is if you modify a program with the GPL then the program has to also be licensed under the GPL. The only way to get around this seems if you have modular code the only thing that has to be GPLed is the module that has the original program in it.

If the latter is the case, I don't see what the big deal is. It's not like others can't get their own copy of the source code from SourceForge.
