Your heart's in the right place, and I understand your frustration, but as a receiver of gpl software you don't have much of a standing. The company you speak of is infringing copyright by not distributing the source code with the binaries. Since you are not the copyright holder there isn't much you can do. You need to notify the copyright holder and hope they take action. Being pesty may get them to comply, but it's more likely it will take litigation to convince a company to look into their legal standing in the matter. If the copyright holder doesn't have the resources to fight the infringement, urge them to sign copyright over to the free software foundation.
As always, the fsf has said this better....
