Gene, this is not quite the right list for this discussion (have a look at http://gpl-violations.org/) and your understanding of the GPL is incorrect.
Just because a company doesn't have source freely downloadable on their website does not mean they are violating the GPL even if they are selling GPL licensed software. Only people who buy the GPL licensed software are entitled to a copy of the source of the binaries they receive.
