This is the same condition. I'm not sure that I follow this argument. How is (a) providing source to an individual receiving a copy of the modified software the same as (b) providing source to the public at large? 'a' would involve offering the source to at least one person, whereas 'b' would require offering the source in a manner calculated to be reachable by the public at large (which presumably means everyone, at the very least including the originating copyright holder.)
