Well, since day 1, the GPL has always had the possibility of "offering"
to distribute the sources in lieu of actually distributing them.  The
exact method is not specified.  A url seems fine to me as one
possibility.  The main point is that if someone asks for the sources,
you have to produce them, for up to three years after your binary
distribution.

It is much better and simpler to actually distribute the sources in the
first place, and that is what we do, and that is what I think we should
continue to do.
