Indeed! But the source and the binaries are not the same thing. There are a few ways to deal with the source requirement - and if you are merely redistributing binaries made by someone else, you don't need to provide sources, you only need to be able to point someone to the sources. Another way is to ship sources with the binary. And finally, the one you may be alluding to, the written offer to provide source code, valid for at least three years, to provide the source code on request. So in the case where maemo.org is merely providing a platform for someone to share GPL licenced products, all we need to do is give a link back to the place the source package, or even forward on the written offer that the packager gave us.
