If you don't have the resources to put up the sources, you are
probably doing non-commercial distribution. Then it's easy, you just
use clause 3c.
On the other hand, if you are charging for the redistribution, you
will have to charge enough to ensure that you can afford complying
with the license. The other option is to go out of business.
