Your post above doesn't mention GPL compliance, only vendors using ancient versions of open source code. If you don't have the source, of course you can't do anything. So you ask the vendor for source and if they refuse then you contact the Linux kernel community to enforce GPL compliance. At some point the source will come out, even if the vendor has to get sued in order to do it.
