No. The considered legal view is that this
is not sufficient to meet the terms of the licence.
To comply with the GPL, we must offer to
supply the source code to the recipient
directly, for the exact version of Ruby which
we supply.  A vague "go google for the source
if you want" could have the FSF after us.
