My understanding is that once a work has been released under GPL, 
all copies are legitimate, source and/or binary.    You must allow
it to be licensed to any and all third parties without any conditions
beyond those in the GPL. There's a new  FAQ a few weeks ago from FSF on 
GPL that explains some of these issues.
