No.  Again, no.  An entity does not have to make source available unless it
distributes the product to another entity.  You can build proprietary
software using GPL components as long as you do not distribute *outside your
company*.  If it stays internal, you have no legal or moral obligation to
make your source available.

Yes, using BSD libraries avoids the problem, but the GPL isn't as
restrictive as you're making it sound.
