Excuse me?
If the program you have on the server is your own code, then anyone on the client side has no claim to it at all.
If the program you have on the server is GPL code, then if you have modified it slightly then you are obliged to publish your modifications to downstream users ... this is the exact same deal for GPL software as it has always been. You cannot "hide" a program on a server and thereby expect to "escape" the one and only "cost" of the GPL code you are using.
