No it doesn't.  That was covered earlier in this thread.  See here  
for an unambiguous answer, right from the source:

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl- 
faq.html#DoesTheGPLRequireAvailabilityToPublic

Since this is PHP we're talking about... all code is source code.   
Thus, anyone who buys their product gets the source code.  That  
person can do whatever he likes with it, but neither Flip Media nor  
their customers are required to give the source code to anyone.  The  
GPL only states that they *may* distribute it, or modified versions.
