If you distribute to the world at large then the world at large is your end client, and as such are required to distribute the source.

If you were Only Distributing to Buy-n-Large then you would only be required to distribute the source to Buy-n-Large.

If Buy-n-Large Distributed to the world at large then Buy-n-Large would be required to distribute the source.

Just because you give someone the source doesn't make it open source.

I had an old professor he used to say: If you cut off someones head they die, but just because they're dead doesn't mean you cut off their head.

If something is open source it means you distribute the source code to the end user, just because you distribute source code to the end user doesn't mean it's open source.

(please note, not all OSL require distribution to the end user)
