If these companies are not distributing binaries of the GPL software they modified, they are under no obligation to provide you with source. The obligation to provide source is triggered only by distribution, not by use, which is explicitly *not* covered by the GPL (IIRC it explicitly says usage licenses are improper if not illegal). |
