According to GNU GPL section 3(b), you are supposed to distribute the sourcecode to any "third party" who requests your code, since you said you are distributing it to customers.

I am afraid you are wrong here. GPL'd software need not be open to any third party. ie, If I sell you a GPL'd software I should give you the source also along with the binary. But I need not give your friend the source of same same software till he purchases it.

But of-course you can give the source to your friend. :-)
