Means I can distribute the software freely as long as its not commercial or for profit, right?
Here is minetest build 03262012 with sound for windows.

Huh... What kind of sound?

BTW.
OpenAl32.dll doesn't exist in the directory... :(

Installing the program worked for me, Minetest will also search C:/WINDOWS/System32 (OpenAl.dll can go there and it works.)

OK...
Weird that I haven't got OpenAl on my PC! Huh! :/

You may use a GPL-liensed program for any purpose, also to make money, but if you distribute binaries you have to make sure the respective source code is available.
The textures and sound files are licensed differently. as CC-BY-SA.

And you should distribute source code of the derivative works too.

If I remember correctly, I only have to tell you where to find the source-code
https://github.com/celeron55/minetest <-- Here

Not exactly. Essentially it must be *you* who provides the source code; you can't rely on a third party without additional agreements. For example, I could remove my github repo and then you would be violating GPL. But for this case, whatever.

6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.

You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:

a) Convey the object code in, !! or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium)!!, accompanied by the Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange.
This is from GPLv3
!! That means, I don't have to provide the object code because it is embodied in the physical product?

Embodied and physical product aren't defined, and minetest using GPLv2, right?

Here is my section
c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b.
Celeron's readme provides links to the source, and that is his offers for the software which he wrote. All his licenses and readme's included with the binaries, should be well enough.
