If you're *distributing* the software, you need to make the sources
available. This could be as simple as providing a written offer for the
sources with a fee attached to have the sources mailed out. You don't
have to make the sources available online, but you do have to make it
available. Whether or not you're making changes to the sources, you
still have to provide the source.

Probably. Talk to a lawyer... I'm not one (so confirm what I said
above!).
