[CentOS] redhat sources release time?

[Jaime Ventura]

Hi. Thanks for your reply.
Im using CentOS for almost 2 years, and  that's the only topic is 
worrying me.
I understand this is more a "legal" question other than technical. I 
mean, with GPL you have to deliver the source if you deliver a binary.
But is it legal to deliver the source say one week after the binary?
Thanks.
