Silly question: you decide to gift/sell someone a used laptop running something like kubuntu, what would be the best way to ensure you're also providing the source code for the #GPL software that's on it?
I am assuming gifting someone a gnu/linux machine isn't a GPL violation, but I'm not sure exactly why...

  @gabriel What do people normally do when selling Linux hardware? I assume they include a URL to the source code in a manual.

  @gabriel license info and access to sources are available on any standard installation so as long as you haven't installed anything proprietary or removed any provided licensing info it should be no different then handing someone installation media
