My English must not have translated well.

"It does not say when" as in meaning: "With what amount of delay in time."

The GPL requires that it be provided (or rather, made available) after release of the binary to anyone who obtains the binary.

That is a definition of one sense of the word: when (after an event).
Another definition of "when" is that of a time or time period.
Nothing says: "Within 30 days of ..." or any other time.

I.E: Amazon may delay providing you with the sources you requested until 3 years after they where last used in a distributed binary.
Afterwards (greater than 3 years) they are under no obligation of the license.
