No.  What happens if cygwin.com goes away?  Then how do people get their
source code?

You don't rely on other people to satisfy the GPL obligation of providing
source code for binaries that you distribute.

This is a very common misconception, though.  It is so common that it is
brought up nearly every single time, I contact someone about a GPL
violation.
