Yet every day, it seems, people are finding holes in the
security by obscurity of "closed nature" software ...
... and there are statements in the GPL which make it
clear that one is only obliged to release the source if

Does a "smart-bomb" hitting the target constitute a
release of the application ?
If so, ask the recipients to mail and request a copy :-)
