The website says:

If you would like a copy of the source code, please contact the
manufacturer Pixel Magic Systems at [email protected] and they
will supply further details on how you can send US$15 (to cover delivery
costs) to their PayPal account at [email protected] with your
name, mailing address and phone number. Pixel Magic will send you the
CD with the source code for GPL by post.

I think technicly that is in compliance then.

Of course nothing prevents someone from doing that and then posting
those sources elsewhere to share.
