+GPLv3~\S6(d) revises and improves GPLv2~\S3's final paragraph.  When object
+code is provided by offering access to copy the code from a designated place
+(such as by enabling electronic access to a network server), the distributor
+must merely offer equivalent access to copy the source code ``in the same way
+through the same place''.  This wording also permits a distributor to offer a
+third party access to both object code and source code on a single network
+portal or web page, even though the access may include links to different
+physical servers.  For example, a downstream distributor may provide a link
+to an upstream distributor's server and arrange with the operator of that
+server to keep the source code available for copying for as long as the
+downstream distributor enables access to the object code.  This codifies
+formally typical historical interpretation of GPLv2.

+% FIXME-LATER: perhaps in enforcement section, but maybe here, note about
+% ``slow down'' on source downloads being a compliance problem.
