While your statement might sound reasonable on the surface, I do not 
believe it actually complies with the GPL.  As a distributor of GPLd 
software, you are responsible for providing the source.  The fact that 
the source is available elsewhere does not absolve you of the 
responsibility, just like the source being available for RHEL does not 
absolve the CentOS project from needing to provide the source they use 
to build the CentOS binaries.
