[MPlayer-dev-eng] violation of the GPL

Hello,
I got an email from someone recently informing me that I am violating
the GPL with concerns to MPlayer.
I don't distribute the full source on my cygwin MPlayer webpage, just
a patchset. This is because I don't want to keep up lots of big source
archives that could get out of sync with MPlayer CVS.
Curtis Magyar says:
"I don't think your note that the source is available from mplayerhq is
sufficient to satisfy your responsibility as far as the GPL is concerned."
And he sent me this link:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DistributingSourceIsInconvenient
My questions are:
1) Do you (anyone) have a problem with my policy?
2) Can I be in violation of the GPL if the creators don't care?
Thanks,
--Joey
