Why is this a big deal? Essentially, a Javascript library is only "linked" with the HTML, which is being sent back to the client. By sending the HTML back to the client you're effectively providing the source. The GPL doesn't say anything about accessing resources over a network, so the server side of the application is fine. On the client side, you can still copyright the design of the site and it's content, so you're not loosing anything. Am I missing something?
