Another GPL opponent in this newsgroup helpfully posted a link to
<http://blog.internetnews.com/skerner/2008/06/verizon-ceo-doesnt-know-about.html>
demonstrating that Verizon is not deliberately flouting the GPL.

The SFLC does not need to do anything else in the Verizon case
because the company which manufactures the routers which Verizon
distributes complies properly with the GPL. A Verizon web page
contains a link to an "actiontec gateway" from which a firmware
upgrade may be obtained. The source to that firmware is on the
Actiontec page.
