Party A releases some software under the GPL3. Party B creates derivative software and releases it in binary form to Party C. Party C requests the source code from Party B. Party B puts the source up on a website but makes it accessible using time controls: for a single instant every 59 days the software is downloadable, otherwise an appropiate HTTP error code is returned. Even with a 60 day request flood of Party B's webservers, Party C may never get the software, but Party B can perpetually be within the 60 day grace period.
