As I understood the GPL, he/she doesn't have to offer the source code

to non-customers.

( GPL can be used commercially. )
But in the FAQ they say :

"

If you commercially distribute binaries not accompanied with source

code, the GPL says you must _ provide a written offer _ to distribute

the source code later. When users non-commercially redistribute the

binaries they received from you, they must pass along a copy of this

written offer.
This means that people who did not get the binaries directly from you

can still receive copies of the source code, along with the written

offer.
