Also note that if you delivered source and binary it would be to a second
party (your
customer) not an arbitrary third party. Even pure GPL (so the following does
not apply
to GtkAda but pure GPL programs) does not require third party
delivery (as long as you deliver your source code with your binary to anyone
you
choose to give a binary to - they are just free to give it to whoever they
want)...
