Sorry, but that quote does not appear in any copy of the GPL that I can find. And it's not true, either. Everything it says is about 'works as a whole' and anything that can be considered a copy or derivative work under copyright law

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html

and now *show me* the word *binary* or *binaries* in any paragraph

And that is exactly the point. They are not considered differently in terms of restrictions you can apply or adding to 'works as a whole' in copyright terms. If the distribution of any part of a work is only permitted by the GPL and you don't follow the GPL terms (say, by adding restrictions of your own), you would not be permitted to distribute at all.
