This is the same as "distribute the source code".
Well, it's the same as "offer for distribution". There's no requirement that the user actually ever download it, only that you offer it for download. Certainly there's no requirement that you put the source in the installer package (the GPL FAQ covers this question
- "Our requirements for redistributors are intended to make sure the users can get the source code, not to force users to download the source code even if they don't want it.")
Also, if python.org agreed to continually make the GMP library source available, that would solve the problem for other binary distributors. From the GPL FAQ: "the GPL says you must offer access to copy the source code "from the same place"; that is, next to the binaries. However, if you make arrangements with another site to keep the necessary source code available, and put a link or cross-reference to the source code next to the binaries, we think that qualifies as "from the same place"."
