Contrariwise, GPL says 'provided that you also do _one_ of the following:'

You may choose to redistribute under the term of alternative 3a) instead.

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange;

For example, by bundling a source CD-ROM together with the hardware.
Given that most hardware come already with a CD-ROM, this is not a huge
burden.
