How the "manner" of *not* providing source code could ever implicate one of the licensor's exclusive statutory rights?
Manner of copying is within the exclusive rights of the copyright holder. For example, authors may sell hardcover publication rights to one publisher and paperback rights to another and eBook rights to a third. If any of these were to publish in a format other than the agreed one, they would be infringing copyright. The GPL very carefully lays out its restrictions so that they are all part of the act of copying, so that violating its terms is copyright infringement.
