I believe simply making the source code available,
such as a publically available Web or ftp site,
is sufficient, instead of requiring it on the same media.

#3 b)  Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three 
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of

of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software 
interchange; or,
