He no longer can distribute source: he sold that right.
He did not.

He has not and he is not.
I don't know where you're getting this stuff. The manufacturer
sells copies of software to a reseller, in full compliance with
the GPL, shipping binaries and source. He has not sold any
"rights". The reseller has not bought any "rights". He may do
only what copyright law allows - he may choose to distribute
under the GPL, or he may choose to distribute under first sale.
