You cannot give someone a binary and refuse them the source. You cannot
even discourage them from asking for the source. The source must accompany
the binary. That doesn't mean they must literally always be on the same
medium, but it does mean you can't make one available and not the other.
When I issue a copy of a binary to am employee of mine he does not own it
or even possess it in his own right but only as my agent. Thus a) no act
of distribution has occurred and b) the copy is accompanied by by source
within the intent of the GPL because I have source.
