I don't think that's true. If you distribute a binary, you must provide or offer to provide the actual source code on machine-readable media. Legally, you can't just give somebody a URL to a third-party site where the source code can be obtained. In practice, that's often enough to make most people happy, but it's not enough to satisfy the GPL. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
