(Incidentally I think it do say that they can't charge you for the commando team but that is not much help in this situation)

They can charge you, but no more than "reasonable". Anybody knows how much is a commando mission these days?

From the GPL v.3:
"6.b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge."
