Incorrect. You are not required to ship the source with the binary. You 
are required to provide access to the source in a suitable means. A 
website download is perfectly acceptable for this.

 From a the perspective of someone who runs a company based on open 
source software and ships stuff with both licenses - the _only_ 
difference between the two is religious when it comes to a commercial 
company's perspective. Daniel's perspective is correct.
