You can point to someone else's server only if you are a non-profit.
If you make a profit on redistributing GPL software, you must bare the
expense of providing the source code, but you can charge the recipient a
fee for doing so.  Only non-profits can point to the servers of any
(upstream) source code providers.

LGPL is almost certainly no different.

I have no comment about the BSD license in this regard.
