If I use section 3b of the GPL and give them a written offer for the source code, then it's true that the offer must be valid for third parties. However, if I choose 3a and just givn the people to whom I distribute binaries the source code at the same time, then there's no obligation on me to distribute either the binaries or the source code to anyone else at all.

Okay, that's not what rms and the FSF intended, but to be strictly legal, unfortunately you need to *force* them to accept the source at the same time as the binary :-(
