The method of redistribution with a copy of a written offer received
form someone else is very limited. This only applies to non-commercial
transactions (arguably including private after-market sales of used
equipment).

100% agreed.

My standpoint is that the easiest GPL compliance path is 'a' (bundled)
implemented as

a) In physical shipping, include a CD with copy of source.

b) In online distribution (upgrades etc) provide sources for each
release from the same location you provide binaries.

This complies with GPL (well, not 100% GPLv2 due to lack of online
provisions, but..), and allows you to avoid the 3 years clause.
