IANAL, but you'll need to give them source, too. If your distributing this
(binary) "package" to your students, you need to give them the source code
for the corresponding binaries (in one way or another).

You should aquaint yourself with the GPL FAQ (available one GNU's website
here <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html>).

Binary ~400MB, source ~500MB. Something like that anyway.
