The real issue comes when you are handing out or selling binary only cds. Those need to have a written offer for source valid for three years (for the GPL), or the source needs to be available at the same time for no extra cost. [If you were handing them out, you'd just have two piles, a binary only, and a source only cd.] The GPL is generally the strictest license we have regarding source... but so long as you offer it at the same time you are distributing the binaries for no extra cost (beyond media), it's fine.
