The URl for the download refers to "actiontec gateway"
(your "name on the box" theory notwithstanding) and is
not for general distribution but for people upgrading
their routers, who have therefore already received
information about the GPL and how to get source code.

You want to require stricter behavior than the rights
holders did so that you can say that the requirements
are being deliberately violated by Verizon, but they
are not. Nor is Verizon unaware of the GPL; the Verizon-
branded manual at
<http://support.actiontec.com/doc_files/MI424WR_Rev._E_User_Manual_20.8.0_v3.pdf>
refers to it.
