[tlug] GPL and Open Source Licences

- User-agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0 (Windows/20041206)
If I link to some GPLed code I understand that I have to licence my code
under the GPL too. If I then distribute my program I understand that I
also have to distribute the source code as well.
Under the GPL, do I also have to distribute the source publicly too?
That is, do I have to make the code available to _anyone_ who asks for
it or can I restrict distribution of the source only to the people I
distribute the program to?
Is this the same for all "Open Source" licences? For example, the
Apache Licence, Mozilla Licence or BSD licence.
I know that probably none of you are lawyers so I will not take anyone's
answers as any sort of legal advice but I would be grateful to hear your
opinions on this subject.
