Nope you have to distribute your source code in such a case.
Of course don't forget the famous scare tactic phrase from AdaCore's site regarding GNAT: "Most important you should ascertain the license and IPR (Intellectual Property Rights) guarantees from its provider."
The FSF GNAT is owned by the FSF and any IPR assigned to them, GNAT GPL is an AdaCore product and in theory they can make IPR claims as well, so unless you purchase their support contracts and get a guarantee of IPR release from them I would not use any AdaCore product even GNAT GPL.
If you want to use GNAT you should stick to FSF GNAT versions only for production systems - http://getadanow.com
