Z:gnu-www-ja-200104 seminar--cd7c7a-Source-only distribution works/en

Source-only distribution works well for technically savvy clients and users, but most want runnable binary programs as well. Section 3 gives permission for the creation and distribution of such binary works. We explain how GPL's requirement for corresponding source code operates, and detail what distribution options are available to distributors of binary GPL'd software. We explore the benefits and downsides of each of those options.
