Why do they need to provide the source code to v.0.60.3?
They need to provide the source code to the version they
copy and distribute. Do you have reason to believe that
v.0.60.3 is the version they copy and distribute?

derivative work. It does not have to satisfy any notion of
"originality". Anyone who wishes to copy and distribute a
non-GPLed early version of BusyBox may do so under whatever
license that version permits.
