As this has been mentioned, here is my penny-worth.

My understanding of the GNU GPL, as it applies to supplying sources,
is that it requires you to make the sources available, but it does NOT
require you to force the sources on people, regardless of whether they
want them!

Specifically, I see no problem (as I read the GPL) with posting a
program in two parts. First, an executable version, and second, the
full sources posting. You could then put the binaries in c.b.a and
the sources in c.s.a.
