And keeps it around for three years..

The GPL doesn't require you to give the source, I stand corrected, you are 
right.

The GPL *does* require you to be able to give them for a period of three 
years if you don't give them directly - which I think may not be all that 
practical for the original poster.

In deed, so you might as well put it on the same CD and save yourself the 
trouble of having a master source CD around for three years.
