Question:
If you are distributing unmodified GPL code, is it sufficient to point
to the GPL project's source code (a link to the release page or
something)?
No.
The GPL sez (section 3):
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
In other words, wherever you are offering the binary for download, you
need to offer the source code in the same place.
Peace,
Gabriel
