First, you should let the users know about the license itself and the
copyrights the code has. Most manufactures just add a small paper with the
list of software and their license or refer the users to a page in their
website.

When ever you distribute GPL code you are obligated to give the user an
option to get the source. How you do that can vary from sending a CD with
the source to download the files from your or someone else's website. But in
any case your responsible to make sure the user can get the sources if he
wants to.
