It's kinda simple for the most part. If you distribute binaries of a GPLd software product, you are obligated to distribute/make available the corresponding sources (and inform recipient that the sources are available). print it on a slip of paper, hide it in an obscure menu item, make it a click through, but something constituting "informing" should happen. It doesn't matter if you made a derivative work of the source code or not. If you ship binaries, you should ship the source too.
