GPLv2 § 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.
This is by no means the only way to comply but it is by far the cheapest and
simplest. I also doubt that TS wants to get into providing CDs in response to
individual requests for odds and sods like this.
Since Micheal from TS was good enough to reply to my inquiry about flash
recovery I am hoping he will read this thread and be able to post a link (maybe
its just elsewhere on the server).
If not , I suppose I'll have to make a formal request directly to TS.
In any case I don't see compliance here since there is not even "an offer of
source" via another medium.
