No. If you give someone the binaries without the source code, you must
give him a written offer (valid for 3 years at least) to send to
anyone who requests it the full source code at _no_ charge.

I think it doesn't.

Not to the public, "only" to the persons he gives the binaries with
the modifications (and then, those persons are free to give them to
anyone).
