So (apparently) you're alleging Armoreware guilty of GPLv2 stipulation 1:
----
   1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's 
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you 
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate 
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; 
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License 
along with the Program.
----

Given that you apparently don't have a copy of the CD, which is where 
the "conspicuous and appropriate" publication of copyright (and other 
stuff) is required to be, how can you allege a GPL violation?

Am I missing something?
