Actually, you only have to make the code available to anyone to whom
you provided the binary. That may seem like a small point, but it
allows individuals and organizations to use GPL'd software as a
base for modified internal-use-only versions.
One would normally assume that off the premises means binary, or in
whatever format is executed/interpreted/etc.
