Fair enough. I haven't dealt with this before, so I will consult our legal 
department.

Thanks,
Greg

I am not a lawyer.
AFAIK you are obliged to offer the source code in the documentation of that 
product (see §3a of the license). I can not tell if it would suffice to just 
point the customer into our direction to fulfill the license. Best would 
probably if you put it onto the associated webpage as a complete, compressed 
archive (too) and mention that in written form shipping with the product. But 
as I said I am not a lawyer and you should consult one if you want to make sure 
you are fulfilling the license. :)
