It depends on the license.  That approach is fine with some licenses.
However, I've been researching the GPLv3 license which Tuxmath uses.
The source is required in the same download location as the
executable.  With GPLv2, it was okay to just make source available
upon request.  I know of at least a few Open Source projects that
originally just pointed to the source repositories in various
locations across the Internet.  They ended up having to host the
source as well in order to comply with the license.  BSD and MIT style
licenses typically don't have these types of issues.
