What's the proper course of action for folks like us? Report them to a GPL violations hotline?

I don't ask in jest, I just was arguing with CAT (yes the heavy equipment people) about getting ROM/sources for their Android ROM, which they've stated they won't even ship the .bin out of the company.

GPL works on the honor system because its not a life or death matter that necessitates external enforcement. There are lots of things we in society used to do simply because it was the right thing to do. Nowadays everything seems to need to be nailed down by the letter of the law in order for people to abide by them.
