I think you are right. Making a binary available without the source, and
not offering to send the source on physical medium, is a violation of
the GPL. No matter whether you give the binary to your customer, to your
friend, or to your enemy.

I also think that it's good that it's this way. Why should you treat
your friend worse than a provider of a distribution treats his
customers?

Bye,
Reinhard
