To my reading, this says that if you offer the program by saying
"download it
from over there" then as long as the source code is also available "over
there", you're fine license-wise.

This is what applies if you do more than say "get it over there" and
instead
say "Here is a copy" and hand it to them on a disk or pre-installed on
their
