If they provide the source code to anybody who purchases their package,
then they are doing nothing wrong according to the GPL. I don't know
whether they do or not, but in the absence of evidence I see no reason
to assume they do not. In particular, there is no requirement that they
make their source code available to the public at large.
That said, discussions of GPL compliance are off-topic for this mailing
list. If you want to pursue this, please write to
licence-violation@gnu.org, as described at
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-violation.html . Thanks.
