Option (b) says :
    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete

    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
    customarily used for software interchange; or,
