Not really - they are obligated to provide it on request, and allowed to take a reasonable time to do so. If someone requested it, and they later uploaded it here, they'd be fine.

In what way does the BSD license obligate that?

I read that comment as saying that GPL wouldn't require simultaneous release, but would simply obligate them to release on request.

But I may also be misreading it.

Yes, I was referring to the GPL, not BSD licensed software.
