Actually, you don't have to. For GPL software you must provide source code for the binary, and can't put it under NDA, that is many fails to comply with. But you don't have to upload the files onto Internet or anything. This is about BSD so it's even less than that, you only have to display correct attributions.

You can refuse to distribute binary and/or source code, or your private copy thereof, entirely, with FOSS. You don't have to send your fork to non-users randomly asking for it, even with AGPLv3.

It's just a totally fine and also easy conformance that is slightly beneficial to all.
