We found both of them to be DFSG violations. In the GPL, however, you
are allowed to just make a copy available from the same location
(subclause A, if I remember correctly), so you need not make use of the
3-year offer.

If the same can be done for GFDL works, then the 1-year requirement
doesn't matter, either.
