Well, he may have that written offer to get source copies for three year,
don't he ?
And i have some doubt that if he failed to ask for them (or you where a little
silent on the proposing of them as we often do at shows and such), that
changes anything to the issue. You should have given them to him anyway, as
is your obligation under the GPL.
