Anybody who gets the binary is under the GPL entitled to the source - "gets the binary" is the operative phrase here.
As Melchior pointed out above me nobody who gets the binary (or source) is required to distribute it further, and if they don't do so, they don't need to give the source (or offer thereof) to anybody. However from memory you also can't restrict the right of people TO distribute it if they get it, so you can't say "here's the software, it's GPL, but you must sign this other agreement which says you won't distribute it to anybody". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
