If the sources aren't on in the distribution, how can they build them?
The GPL allows you to physically *mail* the sources to people, but you
have to provide *in writing* a promise good for three years to do so.
You can't provide a written note on an FTP site. For electronic
distributions, the sources must accompany the binaries, at least as
far as the ftp/http site.
Besides, what happens if the sources on that other site go away? Then
you're violating the GPL again.
