No obavam sa ze nie je to celkom presna interpretacia .. (inak "can get"
je tu skor myslene ako moze dostat a nie moze si zohnat, vid nizsie)

V zneni GPL bod 3b)
    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
    customarily used for software interchange; or,

Podla toho vychadza, ze je to v poriadku, pokial ten, kto distribuuje
vie 3 roky zarucit (dokonca pisomne) dostupnost zdrojakov. Dostupnost na ftp
podla mna nestaci: 
- jednak distributer nevie zarucit ze verejne archivy budu mat zdrojaky
  toho softu (v tej istej verzii) po dobu 3 rokov
- jednak distributer nevie zarucit, ze odberatel ma pristup k internetu

Takze na splnenie GPL staci, ak distributor ma sam kopie zdrojakov a zaruci
ze ich 3 roky nestrati :)
