No.  I'm not saying that.  I'm saying that you can tell the person that
there will be a processing fee for you to make the sources available on
your web site.  If they are not willing to pay for this then you can
point the person to the Cygnus web site.  If you don't feel comfortable
asking for money you could say that it will take you XX days to make
the sources available.

These are essentially tricks to avoid having to put our sources on your
web site.  Unfortunately, I believe that the GPL is clear that you have
to make the sources available if someone asks.  It doesn't say that this
has to be either cheap or easy, though.
