As I understand, with GPL, all you need to do when you sell software is to make the code of the software available to the buyer.
and to anyone else who asks for it
Not unless he is the user of the software. If the software is posted openly on the internet, anyone can claim to be user and ask for the source code. However if company A makes a software only for company B under GPL then only company B is entitled to ask for the code. However if company B passes on the GPLed software to company C then company B is obligated under GPL to pass on the source code to company C.
