I think you've got the wrong end of the stick. If you don't want to allow people to have the source code, don't release the source code at all. BSD/MIT/Apache are all permissive software licenses, if you release your code under one of those licenses, people can use it for whatever they want. GPL/LGPL are restrictive software licenses, they require users of the code to contribute changes/release source code for code linked to the licensed code, or any changes to the licensed code, *if* the code is distributed to other parties. AGPL is a more restrictive version of GPL that requires changes/source to be released even if the code is not distributed to other parties, but is just used on a website that produces content for other parties.
