Actually, if you are distributing the binaries via CD, it is "forbidden"
to only distribute the source code on a web site. You really do have to
distribute the sources with the binaries.
It would probably be instructive to read the GPL FAQ at
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html if you haven't already, specfically:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DistributeWithSourceOnInternet
