Everyone distributing binaries must also either distribute the source together with the binary, or provide an written offer together with the binary explaing how to request the source on suitable media from them. It's fine to in that offer explain that the source may be obtained online and instructions on how to build the binary, but the written offer MUST include the option of requesting the source from you directly even if you haven't made any modifications. There is a small exception for non-commercial redistribution of a binary made by someone else under the terms of the license, but only in that case. See the GPLv2 license, section 3. Found as the file COPYING in the Squid source distribution. Regards Henrik
