I think the point Brian was trying to make was that it is not sufficient to provide the source code in future releases of Bill's Cygwin-OpenSSH package. To comply with the GPL requirements, Bill would need to make available all the relevant source code for every binary release he has made of his package. Alternatively: yes. The GPL _is_ onerous. That's sort of the point: it forces people to make source code available even when they don't want to, regardless of whether that's because they don't want others changing their code or because they just don't want to do the additional work.
