How long is this offer valid?  The GPL says "at least three years".

A non-profit third party copies CDs they purchased at Software Retailers
Inc. (SRI sells binary-1,2,3 and has source-1,2,3 at the customer service
desk), they can pass along the information about SRI providing the source
code.  If this is 3 years (and 1 day) after SRI sold its last binary CDs,
and SRI has discarded their source copies, is there a violation?
