Closed source?  It's a PHP framework. 8-)

Anyway, for a web application, the GPL is usually *less* restrictive
than various BSD license variants because you do not need to mention
the software in the end user documentation.  The viral aspect of the
GPL does not come into play because you do not actually distribute the
software.  You just run it on your servers.
