There is a choice of ONE of THREE options. Company A may EITHER:
1. include the source
OR
2. accompany the binary with a written offer for the source
OR
3. if it is a noncommercial RE-distribution of the binary, include the
offer that was received in terms with #2.
If the binary is downloaded from somewhere, having the source available
at the same place counts as #1.
IANAL, but that's how it all boils down for me. Hopefully that'll help
someone understand that part a little better.
