Hi,

As long as the sources are unmodified, it's perfectly ok to just make a
reference to where the sources are available from. This has been the common
practice in the GNU community for many years. I remember this was a
discussion in the mid 90s if Linux distributors should/must provide sources
for all the GPLed systems or just make them available on a web site or
something similar. I remember my Red Hat 4 (1996?) distribution came with
one installation CD and one source CD.

As long as the sources are available in the CVS or a tar.gz file for
download, we're all ok.

Short answer: Don't worry.
