Maybe the GPL's definition of "distribution" includes making it available for use on the Web, and as such they're obliged to keep the source available.
Not that I know of--I think the GPL3 was supposed to have some kind of clause to prevent that loophole, but not GPL2. Otherwise, Squeaky would have to make his code repository available, too.
