I believe the offer is for anyone you’ve distributed the program to. So if it was Bill who shared a copy of the program with the random teenager it would fall upon Bill to provide him with the source and not you.

The offer only has to be

to Bill, but the offer must be
valid
for anyone, including anyone Bill passes it on to.
